"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 / Supply of raw materials

Greetings!!!

I'm Heinrich Ludolf a Research Assistant of Research and Development Department working with Prestford Laboratories Ltd. UK, One of the leading Bio Pharmaceutical Companies here in England. 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 life saving Pharmaceutical Products.

This may not be your are of specialization but it will be another income generating business out of your specialty. This is because Our company are yet to locate any seller to buy from, however, I have been able to discover a local dealer who can supply us this product. He is selling at a cheap rate , which is far more 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 because I don't want my company to have direct contact with the local agent that sells this herbal oil extract very cheap.

This will enable us work together as partners and make real cool profits. You as the local seller will supply to our company at a good rate which I will inform you later when we are in 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 a feedback from you if you are interested,

Sincerely

Heinrich Ludolf ,
Research & Dev Dept,
Prestford Laboratories Ltd. UK.
