"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: be one of our representatives in North America.

Dear Sir/Madam,

A company, Delixi Imports and Exports based in People Republic of China, is in
need of representatives in your region to represent their interests. The
companies act as middleman for some fast growing companies here in People
Republic of China and Asia.

The representatives will act as our receiving payment agents and meeting with
customers sometimes in North America. Also they will help to pay from available
funds to some the parts suppliers in North America. We are ready to compensate
you with between 7% and 15% for your service. We guarantee you a minimum of
$2,500 monthly part time and can reach $20,000 based on our volume and your
experience and time you are with us. This will depend on experience and the
time you have been with us. Due to bureaucracy to get a branch of our company
registered in North America, we therefore solicit your interest to be one of
our representatives in North America.

We desire about 6-8 individuals for this position spread over North America and
also those that can travel. But this is flexible. If you are interested, for
more information please send reply to our associate, Mr. Terry Chang in charge
of North America operations.

Thank you.

Mary Tao,
Marketing. ( Delixi import & exports China )
