"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!

Subject: Business Proposal

Hello

I'm Andrew Rogerson, Research Assistant for Castle Laboratories

UK, One of the leading Bio Pharmaceutical Companies in England.

I'm looking for a reliable businessman/individual in your region to

represent this company in sourcing some of our basic raw material used in the manufacturing of high quality Anti-Viral Vaccines, Cancer

treatment and other life saving Pharmaceutical Products.

This may not be your area of specialization but it will be another

income generating business out of your specialty. This is because Our

company was yet to locate any seller to buy from.

However, I have been able to discover an international dealer who can

supply us this product. He is selling at a cheap rate, which is far

more cheaper than our previous purchases.

I will give you more specific profit details when I receive a feedback

from you if you are interested.

I want to know if you can front this business as someone who has

international business experience or if you could link me up with

business persons who can.

N/B: Please I have no intention to send unpleasant messages to you and

feel free to ask more for more details i will explain future more.

Thank you.

Andrew Rogerson
