"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: Hello

Hello Dear Friend,


I am very appreciative having the opportunity to relate with you
through this platform, I will be very glad if you will give me the
audience and cooperation to help me secure an investment. I will
recognize your cooperation with an offer that will yield great
interest for you in the short run.

Am an Iranian, my husband is Mr. Babak Zanjani , he is the Managing
Director of Multi Billion Dollars Sorinet Group in the United

Arab Emirate and we also have multi billion dollar investment in
stocks with banks and companies and also a Tycoon in International Oil
Export.

In 2009 he was an antagonist against Iranian government extremism and
Iran continue support for Palestinian to fight against Israel which
have cost lives in thousands of Palestinians. He was supporting
equality between men and women and freedom for religion.

All this attracted the prying eye of the Islamic Extremists of the
upper class in the government and they vowed to destroy him in order
to quench his pursuit for presidency because he was gaining momentum
and followers due to his influence and wealth as an Oil Magnate, he
had eyed the seat of Presidency.

In 2013 my husband was arrested for embezzlement of $2.7 Billion Dollars

Oil Revenue which was staged plotted to nail him and for 3 years of
legal tussles he was sentenced to death in 2016 and had been awaiting
execution till date.

You can read about the indictment through this news

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35739377 .

Almost all his assets has been confiscated and liquidated and he was
made an escape goat because of his wealth and his influence in
antagonism against Iranian extremism but the media will not give you a
version of this.

My husband had single handedly saved Iran from recession through
international oil deals but this was a forgotten experience.

I have two kids for him and I hope that you will keep this information
strictly confidential . He invested in stocks with a Bank in

the United Kingdom and I was linked to the investment worth of
£112,000,000 Million Pounds. I had a meeting with his lawyer last week
and was told that the reason he has not been executed is because they
are trying to drain all his assets but a report has been submitted for
execution by November.

We have cultural timidity and social constraints against women, there are

things i can not do by myself, his lawyer does not have this
information and i can not release this information because it is not
safe for him and there is no one to trust anymore in this country.

I want you to help me get this Investment secured, it can be
re-invested in an active business, i will give you an offer in
percentage that will add a plus to your financial base. I wait to hear
from you before further information will be disclosed. I solicit your
honest interest and hope you are willing to keep this strictly
confidential because of my life and mykids.


Thank you.


Mrs. Talisha Zanjani.
