"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!

Hi,
I know this email must have come to you as a surprise but I will start by introducing myself,my name Ms. Sussanah Eddyvics , I am a veterinarian at ERA GLOBAL FARMING SPECIALIST based in United Kingdom . This company is a contractor to the United Nations (UN) and was recently awarded a contract to supply some vaccines used on animals for related diseases.
Presently, these vaccines are very expensive here in the United Kingdom but relatively very cheap from a source in Malaysia. The price of the vaccines in United Kingdom is three times more than the price in Malaysia according to my findings . If my proposal sounds interesting to you, feel free to write me back and I will give you more information .Thank you.

Yours Sincerly,
Ms Sussanah Eddyvics
