"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!

About the job:

We have sales representatives all over the world to distribute our products.It's a known fact,that it's not easy to start a business in a new market (being the US). There are hundreds of competitors, close direct contacts between suppliers and custo! mers and other difficulties,which impede our sales promotion.We have decided to deliver the products upfront, it's very risky but it would push up sales by 25 percent.Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the US without first registering the company name.
 
Presently with the amount of Orders we have, we cannot put them on hold for fear of loosing the customers outrightly. Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international Cheques take about 15-20 working days for cash to be made available.We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer delays.Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with the payment process.You are not involved in any sales or marketing.Once orders are recieved and sorted we deliver the product to a customer (usually through FEDEX).The customer receives and checks the products.
 
After this has been done the customer has to pay for the products.About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified Cheques and Money orders based on the amount involved.We have decided to open this new job position for solving this problem.Your tasks are:
 
Recieve payment from Customers.

2. Cash Payments at your Bank.
3. Deduct 7% which will be your commission/pay on each Payment processed
4. Forward balance after deduction of commission/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to.(Payment is to forwarded either by MoneyGram or Western Union Money Transfer).

Local Money transfers takes barely hours, so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost immediately.You are entitled to a basic monthly salary of 1000.00 USD.For Instance,when you process a 3000USD payment.You deduct your 7% commission: 210.00 USD and remit: 2790.00USD.First month you will have 15-20 transactions in the range of 3000.00-400! 0.00 USD .18 transactions of 3500.00 USD gives you 4410.00 USD.Plus your basic monthly salary is 1000.00 USD Total:5410.00 USD per month.After establishing a close co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more.
