This email claims to be a person who has a lucrative investment fund proposal to discuss with you.
Supposedly, the London based sender has a client in the United Arab Emirates who is seeking a partnership for strategic investment.
The message asks you to reply if you have a project or business plan which requires partnership funding.
However, the email is an advance fee scam designed to trick you into sending your money and personal information to criminals.
If you reply expressing interest in the “partnership”, you will soon be asked to send money to cover various expenses supposedly associated with setting up the “loan”. If you do send money, further requests will follow. The scammers will continue requesting more and more money until you realize that you are being scammed or run out of funds.
When the scam has run its course, the criminals will disappear with your money.
And, of course, you will never get the promised investment loan, which never existed to begin with.
Furthermore, the criminals may have tricked you into supplying a large amount of your personal and financial information. This information may later be used to steal your identity.
Fake investment emails like this are very common. If you receive one, just delete it. Keep in mind that legitimate private investors are not going to offer large sums of money to strangers that they have randomly contacted via email.
