"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Subject: Partnership Overseas

Good day,

I am Mr Mocache Asumu , a serving government official from Equatorial
Guinea. I am contacting you because I am seeking for a real business
professional with whom I can be involved in partnership overseas, who
also have the ability to manage an investment portfolio in your
country, preferably in Real estate or Housing Development. The
proposed investment profile will be large in volume and scale, but
because of the restrictive employment regulations in my country, I
cannot do this while under state employment.

My primary preference is for someone from your country, hence this
proposal to you. I like to know if you are disposed to that kind of
engagement, so that we may open further conversation along that line
and explore what is possible. The civil service and employment
regulations in my country prohibit me from getting involved in private
overseas business, while under government or corporate employment,
hence this proposal to you.

If you indicate interest, I can proceed to opening up a vast
conversation with you, so you can have a better knowledge of the
proposal.

I look forward to your response if this appeals to you.

Yours Sincerely,
Mocache Asumu
