"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

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. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Hello

I'm Susan M. Hwang , a Research Assistant working with AMGEN LABORATORY (U.S.A ). I'm looking for a reliable businessman/individual in your region to represent my company in sourcing some of our basic raw materials used in the manufacturing of high quality Anti-Viral vaccines, and other life saving pharmaceutical products.

This might not be your area of specialization but it represents a significant opportunity to generate more income for you. This is because our company is yet to locate any supplier to buy from. However, I have been able to discover a local dealer who can supply us with these products. He supplies at a cheap rate, essentially cheaper than our previous purchases.

My director is not yet aware that I have found a new seller . Now THIS IS MY PROPOSAL TO YOU: I want you to stand in as a new local dealer from your country and I will introduce you to our company. The reason for this is that I don't want my company to have direct contact with the local agent that sells this herbal oil extract very affordably.

This will enable us to work together as partners and make real sizable profits from the deal. You, as the local seller, will supply our company at a good rate which I will inform you later when we form an agreement and this will attract the attention of our company director to buy from you as against the previous rate . You will be amazed with our total profit . I will give you more specific profit details when I receive feedback from you if you are interested.

Best Regards
Susan M. Hwang
