"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!

I got your email from an online International search portal and decided
to write you concerning my intention to developing a business
partnership with you. I work with a Wiki-Howpat Herb Company here in
United Kingdom, and below are the detailed information you could find
interesting as per my request from you.
Wiki-howpat Herb Company is major consumer of COFACHIL HERBAL KNUT SEED
used in making homeopathic tinctures for treating and controlling of
Mycoplasma and Zycoplasma infections, Porcine respiratory and
Gastro-intestinal tract diseases commonly found in Eastern Europe..
However, it has been a major product mostly needed by Wiki-Howpat Herb
Company for the production of the above vaccine treatments. Wiki-Howpat
Herb Company has been into purchasing of this product from one of the
supplier in Brazil at the rate of $2,900 USD per sachet, but during my
independent researches and canvassing to Asia for this product, it was
only found in India with the same quality, processed and sold at the
rate of $850 USD per sachet.
Therefore, if you could be devoted and share the same perspective
interest in this, i will introduce you to my company as the supplier of
this seed from India (that means you will be Standing as the middle
person between my company here in UK and the product dealer in India) so
that all purchases on this product by Wiki-Howpat Herb Company UK will
be coming through you provided you stand firm as trustworthy supplier
while you receive order payment from my company.
Supplying this product to Wiki-Howpat Herb Company will not disrupt your
daily activities or jobs hence the company will always send
representative to take delivery from you in India after orders. You will
be supplying this seed at the rate of $2,300 USD per sachet to
Wiki-Howpat Herb Company as long as they can make payments to you in
advance for bulk supply and accept delivery in your country only. There
shall be profit of $1,450 USD per each sachet you supply multiplied by
the quantities of sachets they will require based on monthly agreements
between you and my company. The net profit margin will be shared between
you and i at 60/40% while 60 goes to you and 40 comes to me. It could be
a long term business relationship between you and our company if you
prove to be reliable with me and do what i instruct you.
If you find it interesting, kindly reply me by sending your information
and your contact telephone to enable me further my communication
proceeding with you, and to send you detail contact of the COFACHIL
HERBAL KNUT SEED product dealer in India.

I will be expecting your swift response.
