"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +447031895318 (UK, redirects to a mobile phone in another country)
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Hello Dear,

I am Burican Alescsandru from Romania a veterinary doctor I'm working as a marketing consultant/purchasing & supplier with Petspring pharmaceuticals limited (http://www.petspringpharm.com) here in England United Kingdom.

I'm specifically into buying and supplying of Vaccines and Immunology products for the company. I normally travel to South Asia (Malaysia) where I
purchase this product and supply to our company here in UK.This product is a Vaccine medicine used for treating animals, such as Horses, Dogs etc.

This particular vaccine is called ADEQUAN Injectable. This product has been prove to be the best here in England and United States for veterinary home and it is mainly found and cheaper in Malaysia, (South Asia).

There has been a high level of demand in our company for the product. The board of directors normally send me to Malaysia to purchase the Vaccine. The medicine is very cheap in Malaysia compared to U.S and Europe, in U.S. and Europe, per carton of the product cost $6,000 to $7,500 while in Malaysia I only buy it for $2600. (all prices are quoted in US Dollars).

I was suppose to travel to Malaysia again this month, but due to my health condition I can't make it. I'm presently recovering from a car accident, Now the board of Directors has appointed a new staff who will travel to Malaysia for purchasing the product.

The board of Directors has also asked me to give them the contacts of the supplier, but I don't want to disclose to our company the direct contacts of the supplier, because I don't want them to find out the real cost of the product,

I normally purchase the products from the Malaysian supplier at the rate of $2600 per carton, while I supply to our company at the rate of $4600 per carton making them believe that I bought the products for $4600.

I'm contacting you because I am looking for a dependable individual 0r company that I can trust, someone who will be willing and honest enough to carry out this transaction with diligence to the best of his/her ability.

Our company normally place order from a minimum of 30 cartons to a maximum of 100 cartons in every purchase. and it's every three weeks to one months supply depending on the demand here in UK.

Please If this business proposition offends your moral and ethic values, do accept my sincere apology and ignore it. But If you are interested please contact me so that I can inform you on what next to do. here is my personal email: Burican_008@mail.com
