DRC Congo Project (Kindly view attached file and get back me)

Good day Sir/Madam,
Compliment of the season,
In the vast and remote lands of the Democratic Republic of Congo, lies a small village
where I, His Royal Highness Kongolo Kalonji, oversee a mining operation. Our focus is
on extracting valuable minerals such as palladium stones. These precious resources
hold immense value in the global market, and it is my duty as the village King to ensure
their safe extraction and distribution.
However, I find myself in need of a reliable partner in South Africa who can assist me in
selling these stones on a monthly basis. In return for your services, you will be entitled
to 30% of every sale made.

I have been informed by a friend that there are potential buyers of the above-
mentioned products in South Africa. Therefore, I am in need of a reliable partner in

South Africa who will be responsible for receiving the product and selling it to the
buyers.
To proceed with this endeavor, I kindly request you provide me with your details via my
private email: hrhkongolo@lubamining.com , Your commitment and trustworthiness is
crucial as we engage on this project. Rest assured that our collaboration will be
conducted with utmost professionalism and transparency.
If you possess the drive and determination required for this venture, please do not
hesitate to get back to me with your details.
Thanks
HRH Kongolo Kalonji
Kingdom of Luba DRC

Dear

Thank you for your response to my business proposal. As explained in my earlier email, I oversee a mining operation in a remote village in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we extract valuable minerals such as palladium stones.

I have been informed by a friend that there are potential buyers of the above-mentioned products in South Africa. Therefore, I am in need of a reliable partner in South Africa who will be responsible for receiving the product and selling it to the buyers.

The idea is that I will provide you with the contacts of the buyers I have sourced. You will then call them and inform them that you have 30kg of palladium stones for sale, and inquire if they are interested in purchasing the product. We anticipate being able to make two sales per month.

This opportunity bestows rare trust upon you, and I hope you appreciate this gesture and handle it with utmost sincerity and understanding for our mutual benefits.

Please be informed that, in an offer devoid of greed or betrayal, you will be entitled to 30% commission on every sale you make.

To proceed with this project, please provide me with your WhatsApp number for further discussion.

I eagerly await your prompt response.

Thanks
HRH Kongolo Kalonji
Kingdom of Luba DRC

Warnings posted on Facebook by a reputable financial crimes investigation agency from South Africa:

2021

WARNING OF NEW SCAM:
There is a new scam doing the rounds. A Congolese syndicate operating primarily on the East Rand in Bruma and Bedfordview, is luring people into investing in the purchase and resale of Coltan. This is an elaborate scam similar to the previous scams involving fake diamonds and black dollars.
Potential victims are shown the product which is then “independently” valued by a third party who is actually a member of the syndicate. The unsuspecting potential victim is then convinced to buy the parcel which will then be on-sold in another jurisdiction like Dubai. Further requests are then made for specialised packaging and transport.
Coltan is a strictly controlled commodity and is traded on a specific market. There is no way that anyone can just be approached to be a part of a Coltan deal - this is a scam.
Coltan, also known as columbium and tantalum, is a conflict mineral mined in the east of Congo and in Rwanda.
Coltan is an important component in smart phones and consumer electronics.

2022

WARNING: PALLADIUM SCAM
We previously warned the public about the scam involving coltan. The same syndicate is continuing to operate except that they are now purportedly brokering deals involving the commodity known as palladium.
Be wary of interacting with members of this syndicate as they come across extremely convincing.
The syndicate is made up of Congolese nationals together with South African citizens who add “legitimacy” to the transactions.

The fake supplier used in scam claims to be Luba Mining.

Scammers are spoofing Lubambe, a real copper mine in Zambia, active since 2012 and having no operations in Congo.
