"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:

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.

Hello Dear,

I got your email in net and decides to contact you for a business
proposalwith good turn over in my work place. I have a business
proposal for you in
my company. We have to take this discussion step by step for better
understanding between us.

There is this Material (Penotrin Copam (P.C) used in my work place. I work
with Alabaster Pharmaceutical Company in UK which is into the production of
Pharmaceutical products, Animal Vaccines and Anti-viral drugs and we used
to buy Herbal material from Kenya in Africa but are scarce now. It was
introduced to my company by an India Doctor who is late some years ago. I
did research and got new contact of the Local Dealer of the said Product in
India and the material is very cheap compare with the price my company is
currently buying which is scarce from the present supplier's side. I want
to introduce you to my company as the Local Dealer of (P.C) in your
country. I don't want my company to deal directly with the Local Dealer
that's why I need an indigenous Partner to bridge the gap so that we can
make profit from each purchase.

You buy from the Local Dealer at the rate of 2200 dollars I think about
117,000 INR and sale to my company at the rate of 4800 Dollars/256,000 INR
per packet of 50 gram. The company will send delegate to you to buy from
you in cash or any means payment you want. Then you give me my percentage
share of the profit after the supply.

If you are interested in this business, revert back to get the Procedure,
Terms and Conditions to proceed. I will furnish you with Local Dealer
contact in India and introduce you to my company as the dealer for
negotiation and guide you where necessary but you must be honest with me on
percentage share of the net profit after the supply for continuity.
Await your swift reply.

Regards,
Dr Brown Chair
