"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: Kindly Get Back To Us

Dear Sir,

Our company is a distributor of herbs roots to a United Kingdom client and
they have call us to supply Kamzi.H2 Root ,So we are looking for
trustworthy and honest partnership for this long term transaction.

I have Purchased the root called Kamzi.H2 Root before in Malaysia at the
rate of $200 American dollars per packet of which I sold to my client at
the rate of $900 American dollar, its been use to cure Lungs Cancer and
Diabetes.

But this time l will not be able to fly over to Malaysia for this business
at this time, because of my position at the company now, so if you are
interested, I can give you the contact of the seller in Malaysia and
connect you with the Buyer who is in need of this root as the main dealer,
so you and l can share the profit margin on it as the buyer is ready to fly
over to Malaysia for the root at the moment and he's ready to purchase 5000
packets (Five Thousand packets).

I don't want to introduce the seller over there in Malaysia to the UK buyer
directly because of the profit margin.

Kindly get back to me for more details if you are interested.reply to
j_mains@aol.com

Best Regards,
Jeff Mains.
