"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Dear Good Friend,

My name is Lopez Adams i based in Liverpool,UK working with a
pharmaceutical company.

I have decided to contact you directly to discuss briefly via email
about the ongoing supply that came up in our company.
I think if you can understand English and India Language (Hindi,Tamil
etc) you can take up this business proposal to buy out OPLAMO HERBAL
ROOT from the local producer in India and make supply to our company
as the direct producer to enable our company be buying direct from you
on every subsequent order after this first purchase.

OPLAMO ROOT its used for production of Anti-viral drugs & Animal Vaccines.

Our company have been purchasing the materials from Pakistan but it is
very scarce and expensive now in Pakistan.
I've found out the truth that this Pakistan people purchases this
product in India at the rate of $210 USD,while they supply to our
company at the rate of $430 USD.

Recently i got the contact information of a local producer in India
that preserve {OPLAMO} herbal root to the quality our company needs
for production and i came to know that this product can be purchase at
rate of $280 US dollar per sachet in India.

Note that i can not release the contact information of the local
producer easily to anybody that can not follow up with guidelines on
how to make this supply on this first supply,because if any mistake
occurs and my company finds out that i'm involve in given information
to someone to supply this product to them they will consult a legal
petition against me and i can not go to India to buy and supply this
product to our company because i do not have money to handle this
business and i don't want to release this information to our company
management.

Our company buys 3000 sachets (each sachet contains 5 grams),but on
the first order with any producer they want to give a trial order of
300 or 500 sachets and payment method for this first order is COD-
cash on delivery, upon their satisfaction on this first order they
would be making payment on T/T in advance.

Please read this business proposal very well before you reply me,if
you can not handle this business according to my guideline its better
you don't reply me,because i want you and i to be on safer side in
this transaction.

Upon your reply i will clarify you more on how to start this business
immediately,please drop your contact phone number for me to be able to
contact you ASAP.

Thanks,
Lopez Adams
