"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.

Subject: Thanks in a million for your urgent response on this Business
proposal with my company.Have a blissful-week-End

Thank you once again for connecting, please take your time to study my
business offer.

I'm a Research Manager working with TD Laboratory Ltd, it is one of the
England leading Bio Pharmaceutical Companies in production of Herbal Drugs.
Our company is currently looking for a reliable supplier of some basic raw
materials that we use in the manufacturing of herbal Anti-Viral Vaccines
for Cancer treatments and other lifesaving herbal products.

But as a researcher in our company, I just discovered a local dealer who is
selling this raw material at the rate of USD255.00 per liter, while our
company has been buying the same product at the rate of USD490.00 per
liter. For this reason, I do not want to introduce our company to this
local dealer so that they wonâ€™t be buying directly from the local dealer.
This is why I have contacted you by email since your role in this project
does not require pharmaceutical experience.

YOUR JOB: I want to introduce you to our company as the local dealer and a
producer of the raw material. You shall then offer the product to my
company at the rate of USD450.00 per liter, which is also cheaper than my
companyâ€™s previous purchases. The cheap offer will attract my company to
disconnect from our old supplier and sign a new supply contract with you. I
shall give you the Local dealer contact so that when you receive an order
from my company, you will then place the orders to the local dealer to
produce and ship to my company directly. We shall make a profit of
USD195.00 from each liter, we multiply it by my companyâ€™s order quantity
and that will be a good profit for us.

I know this is not your business field but it will be another income
generating business out of your specialty and also will not affect your
current business time. Please get back to me for more details like the
product details and name, supplier location, order quantity etc.

Waiting for your response
