"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!

Dear Sir/Madam


Hope this mail finds you well. Permit me to introduce myself. I am Johann Kebble, a former commercial farmer in Zimbabwe and CEO of NK Direct Veterinary Supplies now based in Ghana. I contacted you to introduce you to a fruitful business. While still running my company business, I was the sole supplier of various animal vaccines such as, ADEQUAN, ANIT MG4 to Companies in Ghana, the United Kingdom and beyond. I have my transactions closed down with these companies due to financial setbacks and ill-health conditions.

ADEQUAN and ANIT MG4 are essential supplement vaccine used for animal healthcare especially for Horses, Dogs and Cattle to prevent joint pain, dislocation and other injuries.

I always get these vaccines from Malaysia where the sale cost less than any other retail outlet elsewhere. Fortunately, I have not revealed my source of supply to any of my end buyers nor the buyer to the seller. I hold the advantage to still market these products at a huge profit. Little explanation of how profitable this business is this vaccine cost US$5,850 per cartoon in the United Kingdom, Europe and most part. While in Malaysia where I do buy it cost US$2,050 per cartoon. And I can sell this product to my buyers at US$4,600, thus making a profit of US$2,550 from every cartoon sold.

Despite the setback in my business, some end buyers still wants me to continue with supplying of these products to them at a very profitable price. This is because of the fact that the price offered to them by other suppliers exceeds my selling price.

Presently, I still have an order of 30-50 cartoons of ADEQUAN at monthly supply to a Diary Farm who pays me cash on delivery in the UK and Ghana. Should we supply the current order of 30-50 cartoons to this Diary Farm, we could make a net profit of US$63,000 in one month so also preceding months.

As a finder, I am asking for 30% which is only US$22, 050.00 from every successful supply and payment that we receive in this transaction. Upon our mutual understandings and agreement, i shall be obliged to avail you with all the contact information of the supplier in Malaysia where we could make the order and supply to the Diary Farm here in UK.

Furthermore, I would advise the purchasing company to contact you and bid for the products and I shall guide you through the entire transaction.

Please feel free to contact me whenever you think this offer is of a useful interest to you. I shall anticipate your intent to undertake this business with me and hoping you will contact me via my alternative e-mail address: jkebble@hotmail.com before long.



Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Warm Regards,

J. Kebble
