"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!

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.

Subject: Business Proposal {MAJHPOGHA} herbal roots supply

Dear Good Friend,

Compliments,

My name is Dr.Larry M. Pontrello from Florida in USA,but i based in London,UK
working with a pharmaceutical company. As i have decided to contact
you directly to discuss briefly via email about the ongoing supply
that came up in our company.I think if you can understand English and
India Language (Hindi) you can take up this business proposal to buy
out the product from the local producer in India and make supply to
our company as the direct supplier to enable our company be buying
from you on every subsequent order. Our company is into production of
Pharmaceutical products and Animal Vaccines.There are some materials
that my company needs from India for the production of our
Animal Vaccines and Anti-viral drugs.

Our company have been purchasing the materials from Pakistan but it is
very scarce and expensive now in Pakistan. I've found out the truth
that this Pakistan people purchases this product in India at the rate
of $170 usd,while they supply to our company at the rate of $430 usd.

Recently i got the contact information of a local producer in India
that preserve {MAJHPOGHA} herbal roots to the quality our company
needs for production and i came to know that this product can be
purchase at rate of $145 US dollar per sachet in India.
My good friend i want only a trusted person who will not deny my
commission after this business is successfully done.

Note that i can't easily release this contact to any kind of
person,because if my company knows about it, they will consult legal
petition against me, and i can't go to India to buy this product now,
because i don't have the money and our company always buy 3000sachets
(each sachet contains 5 grams)

On this first business if you can afford to buy out 300 to 500
sachets to present to our company,it would attract our company to make
arrangement on how to be purchasing from you on contractual basis upon
their satisfaction on this first business.

I will forward you the contact information of the local producer on my
next mail upon your acceptance.
You can Send me e-mail via: dr.larry.m.pontrello@gmail.com

Thank you,
Dr.Larry M. Pontrello
