"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.



Sir/Ma,
I am David Watson from United State of America and I work as an agent to Pashatr.org Inc and in collaboration with Phrma company here in USA and the company is into bio pharmaceutical researchers and biotechnology and also they deals in manufacturing of animal medicine for animal treatment and the Raw Material used in manufacturing this medicine is sold in India

This company manufacture among other chemicals like Phosphoryl chloride (commonly called phosphorus oxychloride) a colorless liquid with the formula 3. This and other chemicals are used in manufacturing nerve gas, mustard gas and sarin. I just sincerely wish to express my interest to handle this matter with you as I believe that you are reliable in handling these type of international transactions

I and the boss of the company normally go to India in purchase of this Raw Material for more than one year now and we normally comes every three to four months in purchase of this material. I was formally doing this business with Mr. Arif Hakim who died recently and now I don't know any other person to handle the business with so that is why I want to handle the business with you.

The business is this, I just want you to act as a middle person to buy this raw material out from the original sellers at a cheaper price and resell to me and the boss of the Company at a higher price and we share the profit.

The original price is $2,000 per one piece but you will re-sell to us at $4,000 per one piece and our profit for each sachet is $2000 so now the boss want us to purchase 300 sachet of the Raw Material at a total cost of $1,200,000 for the 300 sachet and our profit will be $600,000 and we share it equally $300,000 each.

The name of the Raw Material is Acetic acid-A and the seller is in the India so if you can handle the business then I will give you the phone number of the seller in India so that you can contact him and find out if he has the Raw Material and you can buy from him at at cheep price and resell to us on a higher price and we share the profit.

I will give you more details as soon as I hear from you and we will arrange to pick up the product from you within 24 hours after you got the product.

This product is a legal commodity and is not against the Government but the only problem is that it is not on commercial sells, and is meant for big companies like ours.

This is a very lucrative business where we can split few thousands of Dollars genuinely every two to three months.

I expect to hear from you as soon as possible and kindly send to me your full name, your full and complete address, your mobile Telephone number and please reply only to my private email address: davidwat0617@hotmail.com
