"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: Herpes (HSV 1 & 2) CURE

Do you know that Herpes has a permanent cure?
I tested positive for Genital Herpes HSV2 early last year. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. One day, I was browsing through the Internet searching for a herbal remedy on HERPES when I saw comments of people talking about how Dr Tunde herbs helped them. When I contacted him, he spoke to me nicely and gave me assurance that my Herpes will be gone in 30 days with his herbal medicine. I laughed it off, but asked him to send some of the herbs to me. After some days, Dr. Tunde sent me some herbs to drink and a herbal cream for my sores.

I followed his instructions for 30 days, day by day, the symptoms of herpes began to recede. After 3 weeks I went back for tests, the herpes was gone! The test result was negative, but I had some reservations. I waited for 6 months to see if the outbreak would reoccur, but nothing. It's been 1 year now, and the herpes hasn't come back. I couldn't believe my eyes. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Dr. Tunde herbal CURE. I am so happy as I am sharing this testimony to let anyone who is battling with Herpes (HSV-2) know that there is a cure for it.
