"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.
- +447045723647 (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.

R.Z. Manufacturing, Inc.

Hello Dear,

I work with RZ Manufacturing Inc in London branch. We supply to industries here in LONDON and USA with a chemical called T20 Buster. This chemical is in high demand here in LONDON and I found it very cheap in ASIA precisely CANADA, it is manufactured in North Korea but due to the Export retrained in North Korea the product cannot be exported directly to LONDON that is why we buy from Agents.

I need an intermidiary who can transact these business with me, the person will buy from the agent in CANADA, and resale to my company at the quoted price, if you are interested I will introduce you to my company as the agent dealing on this chemical, you will buy from the agent and resale to my company.

My company will be sending our representative to CANADA to purchase this chemical and I don't want them to go directly to the agent because of the price which I have quoted to them for this will cause a conflict of interest and I stand the risk of losing my job that is the more reason I need a middle person in this transaction. I don't know if we can make this together as this will be a long term and continuous business, if this is acceptable by you get back to me as soon as possible. My company order 10,000 cartons per month and they can sign contract with you for 5yrs to supply the product to our company on a monthly basis order of 10,000 carton for 5yrs.

Brief Explanation:

- Price I quoted to my company to buy the chemical from Canadian agent is = $7,060.00 USD per Carton

- Price quoted by Canadian Agent = $2,550.00 USD per Carton

I wait to hear from you, please get back to me on this email:phill77fe@gmail.com

Yours Faithfully
