"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 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.

Hi Dear,

I am Rich Nelmes, Working with (UNA-UK) United Nations Association of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as Membership and Business Development Manager. There is a project purchase order contract i have in South East Asia Malaysia- Asia and it goes on a supply of a cleansing product called MMi-Citrine Zite

MMi-Citrine Zite is a scientific chemical fluid mainly used in the gemological laboratory for the Absorption of Aircraft clarity treatment and other heavy censored engines, like Submarine etc. It penetrates deep into tanks and vaporizes out black inclusion. MMi-Citrine Zite is in a high demand and right now I have been able to find a distributor in Malaysia who deals on said product in a cheap rate compare to the UNA-UK price. The local dealer in Malaysia sells at the rate of US$2,680 USD, while the UNA-UK purchases at the rate of US$7,100.00 per carton.

I seek for a honest dependent partner who will stand in between the Malaysia dealer and UNA-UK the purchasing company as the supplier of this product upon the arrival of our representatives to purchase the MMi-Citrine Zite from you. We usually purchase 20 -1000 cartons each trip

Upon your interest of handling this purchase contract, i will furnish you details of the Malaysia dealer while other documentation of purchase order and agreement will be made available from the (UNA-UK) United Nations Association of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as the supplier of the product.
