"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!

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.

This Antidote is known as VETERA VACCINE 1.M Injection. VETERA VACINE 1.M Injection is an antidote which is used for the treatment of farm and domestic animals. VETERA VACCINE 1.M Injection relieves pain caused by swelling and inflammation associated with joint disease and absorbs shock in horses. This Antidote is sold in USA at a costly rate of $5,750 USD per-carton. Recently,i found out that this Antidote is cheaper in Malaysia and it is sold at the rate of $1,100 USD per-carton, which is very cheap than what is been sold in USA and other countries.

The seller of this antidote in Malaysia is a woman known as Mrs. Mira M. Ahmed. Mrs Mira sells this antidote at the cost of $1,100usd while my company buys at the rate of $4,950usd which is cheaper to them compared to the price in USA, because my company don't know the price of the antidote in Malaysia.
