"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!

Attention Please,

My name is Mr. Steve Harry Hall, advisor to investors. Iâ€™m contacting you
because I have Silent Investors that have the capacity to invest in any
massive project that will generate a good return on Investment {ROI}
annually. And can as well offer loans at low interest rates to finance your
existing project that requires funding.

However, the investment aims at solar energy, tourism, hotels, real estate,
stocks and bonds primarily, but will strongly consider any other business
area you may suggest that can guarantee outstanding fiscal yields.

The investment fund is already tied down securely as receivables and will
be transferred to your individual/company account if we accept to work
together.

Let your reaction reach me via email soonest, if you have the track record
and potential to receive, invest, and manage large sums successfully.

Best Regards,
Mr. Steve Harry Hall.
Investorâ€™s Advisor
