Check Scams, Debt Collection scams and other financial scams.

This scammer has used the invitation facility on a Family History website to send his scam. This is not a normal way for an investment company to seek administrators or portfolio holders! However, the contents of the email would still be a scam, even if it had been sent from an ordinary email address. Despite the use of 'businesslike' language, this is not a genuine financial opportunity, but a scam aimed at taking money from you, but giving nothing in return.

It was not written by the Chairman and CEO of Dubai International Capital LLC. It is written by a scammer who has no connection to this company.

Dubai International Capital does not use a Gmail email address. Its genuine email address ends @dubaiic.com.

The middle part of this scam mail is identical to the one above. Like the one above, it has not been sent from a person with any connection to a financial organisation, but by a scammer. It is not genuine.

subject Invitation as Broker/Agent

I appreciate your prompt response to my business offer and your determination and courage aim at co-operating with our good selves. I am a very busy corporate executive with so many assignments to cater for. After our last board deliberations, we came to a concrete decision to re-invest the fund within the GCC countries under the management of private individuals and corporate groups within the region. However, as chief executive director of the organization, I have my reservation and quota allocation. The business here is quite different from what is obtainable in the western world.

The investment portfolios, we are re-allocating are purely earnings from private and corporate investment portfolios under our direct jurisdiction. The figure we presented to the Government is quite different from what is in our financial records. The management as a team has decided to unanimously place these earnings in the hands of third party management experts and entrepreneurs in the region for our private gratifications.

For security reasons, the requirement as outlined by the board for the placement of these funds to third party organizations or private businessmen are very rigorous and requires a lot of lobbying and financial commitment before application will be approved. Consequently, as my direct contact person, it’s my desire to guide you through, to ensure that your allocation is approved and your proposed investment plans are funded according to your direct financial need.

I am ready to do this on the condition that you will agree to remain anonymous through-out the course of the transaction i.e. you will participate by using your name and organization in furthering the transaction while I will be your insider to ensure that your allocation is approved and fund is allocated to you. Upon approval and disbursement of fund to you, I will be entitled to 10% equity in any of the chosen investment field you chose to place the fund throughout the duration of the 5 years contract tenure.

I seriously crave your indulgence and confidentiality to ensure that we have a harmonious business relationship.....I shall wait for your response before making available to you the other modalities.

Attached is a clear detail of our financial terms. Feel free to contact me on the telephone number below anytime:
