"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!

My Dear Friend,

My Name Is Dr. Walter Smith Evan The Product Sourcing Manager of Anglian
Pharmaceutical Sales & Marketing (APSM) Anglian pharmaceutical Sales &
Marketing agency and I am Personally contacting you for a legal and
profitable opportunity that will open doors for Unimaginable financial
rewards for both of us. This mail will come to you as a surprise as you do
not know me and never met me before.

Company Alliance Pharmaceutical Limited) here in the U.K is in need Of a
certain bio-agricultural product named {KPOSAKUTA SEED}. The product is a
rare and essential bio-agricultural specie with mono sodium glutamate (MSG)
used for the production of a vaccine called HYDROPONIC ® Inject able by
this Company and distributed as part of foreign aid to Countries in War and
Refugee camps Throughout the world under the rehabilitation of the U.N
(UNITED NATIONS WORLD WIDE) For the Treatment Of critical diseases Like.
Cancer, Mycoplasma, Psysoriasis, Prevention Of HIV and other related
Pathogenic viruses..Etc..

I Write To You concerning the Negotiation Of This Product over there In
India Because I Need A Stable And Reliable Partner Who Will Purchase The
Product Out From The Producer ( Local farmer) In India At The normal price
rate of 4,100 INR Per Sachet Of 5 Grams As It Is Been Sold By The local
Farmers In India, And Re-sold To The U.K Company here At The Rate Of GBP
180 Pounds Per Same Sachet Of 5 Grams, as This Company Needs 2000 Sachets
Of This Product On monthly supply basis.

This Essential raw material Is a Local Product that is Cultivated by local
Farmers in India Like Any Other Eatable Farm Product. It Is An Ayurveda
Product Without Any Content Of Nicotine In It. While Many Underdeveloped
Countries Use Ayurveda Products In its Raw Form, it is being refined in The
Western World Laboratories Before use. This Ayurveda Herbal seed Is Not
Illegal in Any Way to Any Authority.

Please Note that once made available, The Company Will Immediately Send Its
Executive Purchase Manager to Come To Your Country India for purchase and
Payment of This Product from you With Cash To pay on delivery in India
{COD}.

My Proposal: I will provide you with All Necessary guide lines And
Information You Need for you To Do This Business Successfully on my behalf.
All You Need To Do Is To Stand As a Middleman. Between The Producer (local
farmer) In Your Country and The U.K Company here by Purchasing out the
Products and Supplying without Allowing both Parties To Meet Or Have Each
Others Contact. I Personally Devised This Idea To Protect Future
Transactions as It Will Also Be An Additional Business Opportunity Outside
Your Specialization. This Business Is very Lucrative Without Any Risk.
