The Scottish Investment Trust is a genuine investment trust, and this scam mail includes a link to their genuine website. However, this email is not from the Scottish Investment Trust.

The genuine Scottish Investment Trust does not use a Yahoo email address, but uses its own @sit.co.uk address. The telephone number of the genuine Scottish Investment Trust begins +44 13, not +44 70 as given in this scam mail. +44 70 telephone numbers, widely used by scammers, are UK Redirect telephone numbers - they redirect all calls to the scammer's own mobile phone in his own country. This scammer used a Nigerian proxy server while sending this email, but is probably located in Nigeria himself.

In reality, there are no Annual Investment Proceeds to claim or share. The details in this scam mail are invented. The scammer will require some type of fees to be paid, and will tell you that this is necessary before the fund is received by you. The fund will never be received, however, because the money does not exist.

Attn:

I am Mr. John Kennedy, the Fund Manager of Scottish Investment International. The World Largest Fund Management Company with over ?1.2Trillion Capital Investment Fund.

Nevertheless, as The Scottish Fund Manager, I handle all our Investor's Direct Capital Funds. As a routine, every investor gets the percentage profit or dividend from the total cash he or she invested into the company annually. Last year it was announced that the profit margin was 20% after calculating carefully I found out that the profit margin was 21.1% that is an excess of 1.2% on each investor so I secretly extracted 1.2% Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the Investor's Marginal Capital Fund. As an expert, I have made over ?45, 745, 000. 00 from the Investor's EMRCP and hereby looking for someone to trust who will stand as an Investor to receive the fund as Annual Investment Proceeds from Scottish Marginal Capital Fund.

All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to you prior to your acceptance.

Meanwhile, I have worked out the modalities and technicalities whereby the funds can be claimed in any of our 6 Clearing Houses without any hitches. Our sharing ratio will be 60 40. If you are interested, you should send your direct phone number so we could discuss more on phone as regard the transaction.

Please do get back to me through my mobile number +44 704 570 9683

Best Regards,

Mr. John Kennedy
