"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!

Dear Investor,

Our company has undertaken an ambitious venture to increase our brand

. An increase of over US$4,000,000.00. for regional retail sales in the
last quarter
. An expansion in new retail markets in the Southeastern region
. An increase in online sales by 90% in the last two quarters

We are proud of these achievements and have reached an important milestone
in our progress. We hope that it demonstrates to our valued investors such
as yourself that we are seriously committed to achieving the mission.

At the current stage of our progress, we now have an exciting investment
opportunity available for Superior Investments. We propose an investment of
US$10,000,000.00. which would allow us to continue our current aggressive
expansion while providing you with outstanding returns. We are willing to
provide a return of 35% interest on your investment,for a period of 2
months.

We have very little doubt that we can complete our expansion initiative as
the response received from customers about the quality of our products and
customer services have all been positive. We truly appreciate you and your
company being part of the story of our success and continue to believe that
building and maintaining mutually beneficial business relationships is the
key to success.

I greatly appreciate the time taken to read this proposal and would be
happy to work out further details. For more information, or if you have any
