"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:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
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,

Greetings to you! My name is Dr Simon Brayshaw. I am a Research assistant of the Research and Development Department working with ANTIGA PHARMA, One of the leading Bio Pharmaceutical Companies in the United Kingdom. I'm looking for a reliable businessman/individual in your region to represent my company in sourcing some of our basic raw material used in the manufacturing of high quality Anti-Viral Vaccines, Cancer treatment and other lifesaving 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 is yet to locate any seller to buy from. However, I have been able to discover a local dealer who can supply us with this product at a cheaper rate.

THIS IS MY PROPOSAL TO YOU; I want you to stand in as a supplier of the herbal extracts. The reason for this is because I don't want my company to have direct contact with the local organic farmer that sells these herbal oil extracts at a cheap rate. This will enable us to work together as partners and make real cool profits. You as the local seller will supply our company at a good rate which I will inform you how to go about later when we are in agreement. You will be amazed with what we can achieve together.

I will give you more specific profit details when I receive feedback from you if you are interested.

Regards,
Dr Simon Brayshaw
