"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!

What we're offering here is not the "natural" miracle medication.
Ours is a science-based diet solution, we are not one of the tons of seedy internet companies selling some awesome weight loss pills.
You notice how their preferred buzzword seems to be natural?
There's nothing "natural" about making your body lose excessive pounds while not dieting, these defrauders prey on naive customers that just want to get skinny and will believe all the half-truths they spout.
Our anti-obesity solution is not 100% natural, it is based on actual science; you will not dream body in a day, but we'll help your body drop weight at a quicker rate.
As a little incentive, we'll give you a special discount
