"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: WORK WITH US



Dear,

Firstly, I would like to introduce myself to you, well I am Jesicca
Harrison, I am attach to Crown Royal Windsor PLC. in London. I am
looking for a dependable individual that I can trust, someone who
wiling and honest enough to carry out this transaction with
diligent to the best of his/her ability. Basically, I normally travel
to Malaysia to purchase a Product Called INOMUNEInjectable.The
RHINOMUNEInjectable is for vaccination of healthy horses 3
months of age or older as an aid in preventing respiratory disease
caused by equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1). RHINOMUNE is
prepared by growing an attenuated strain of EHV-1 on an equine
cell line. The RHINOMUNEInjectable contain 10 bottles in a
carton. Each bottle contains 25ml. Indication for the
RHINOMUNEInjectable product is recomended to be used for
horse only.

These products are rare and in high demand here in Britain ,
though not long it came to existence, it was introduce to our
company by a Chinese friend, Mrs. Christina Tan a veterinary in
Holland, who gave me a sample for test on my last visit to Holland.
In a moment, I have searched to a conclusive point that this said
product are specifically found in the South/East Coast of Asia in

which we can purchase inlarge amount for supply at an affordable
price in Taiwan and Malaysia by a reputable dealer. The Crown
Royal Windsor PLC. have mandated to come over to Asia to
purchase the product mentioned above but the issue right now is
that I need the correspondence of a reliable partner, who will
stand as the distributor.

The actual selling price from the dealers in Malaysia is USD $2,500
and rate in Malaysian riggit is MYR8000, while it is sold here in
Britain at the rate of USD5700 to Veterinary Companies.
Meanwhile I don\'t want our marketing manager to go directly to
the dealer because the company has allocated USD5000 per pack
to purchase the product. My appeal to you is for your assistance,
to get the product from the dealers then re-sell to our company
at the stipulated

price as stated above, thereafter the profit will be shared base on
60/40% percentage. I am unable to travel for now after a bad
vehicle accident, I have no intentions on losing out in profit as i
need it to pay up my hospital bills. It has seriously drained me.
With that i was hoping that a reliable person can assist me in
supplying my marketing manager.

The quantity demand from my company is 30 to 50 cartons
monthly. All I need from you is to be kind, honest, and
trustworthy. Your reply is of great important, all information
needed is intact, and all that matters now is your respond if you
are interested. Kindly get back to me with your full contact ie
company name if any, phone no., fax no. I hope to hear from you
soon.

My email address is mtcll_01@yahoo.com.hk
