"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!

Fraud email example:

From: "Abdul-Jubril Doseh" <abdul_doseh28@myway.com> (may be fake)
Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2006 04:05:42 -0700
Subject: Expecting to hear from you.

Dear

Compliments of the season and with due respect, my
name is Abdul-Jubril Doseh from South Africa. I study
here in Malaysia at (UNIVERSITY PUTRA MALAYSIA SERDANG).

Dr. David Newton is a vertinary doctor and a british
citizen coming from U.K to Malaysia to purchase, Animal
Injection and some other veterinary Equipments for their
Farm Settlement in South Africa. The name of the company
is (LIVESTOCK COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION).
The name of the product is Thamacyne xp1000.

It uses is to: 1.To prevent from all kinds of infectious
diseases, such like the MAD COW disease.

2.It make them grow healthier and faster.

3.For them not to transfer any of these
diseases to human.

The medicine is brought in from Thailand to their franchise
office in pennang and they are attached to W.H.O.’s office
in Malaysia. The medicine is packed in ten bottles per carton.

We buy this medicine RM 700per bottle. (RM7000/10bottles)
Per/carton and sell to the Doctor RM 1400 per bottle.
(RM14000/10bottles) per carton.
We are acting as middle men for us to make our gain by
not letting our Buyers to know the Malaysian sellers because
if they do,they will have to buy directly from the suppliers
and thereby cutting us out from making our little profit.

They always come to buy cash on delivery. This is to
avoid check or bank transfers inconveniences.
Why I need you to assist me in financing this business
is because the Chinese man I have been dealing with has
gone to China to set up his own Multi National Company.

Presently the Doctor have been calling me that they
are out of stock and they want to come down to purchase some
of these product but I have to tell them that there is no stock
now because I have not yet found a Local citizen who will
represent and deal with them as the direct supplier.

So if you are willing to partake in this business I will first
link you to the Malaysian Company so that you can know more
about the Product, before I will link you to the Foreign Doctors
so that you can Act as the direct Supplier.

At the end of the day we have to take out the amount you used
for purchasing the product. The profit we make has to be shared
70% for you as the financier and 30% for me.

This contact was giving to me by my uncle a former minister of
Health. He is now too old to continue the deal, that’s why he
linked me up. I will have to give him some returns from my share
too.

Therefore, if there is any areas were you are not clear please
highlight it to me so that I will clarify you.


Regards.

Abdul-Jubril Doseh.
