"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!

Subject: I HAVE A BUSINESS PROPOSAL FOR YOU IN MY COMPANY

Hello Dear,

I found your email in india database and decides to contact you for a business proposal with good turn over in my work place. . 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 is scarce now. It was introduced to my company by an India Dr 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 India. 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 I or rather We can make profit from each purchase.

You buy from the Local Dealer at the rate of 1200 dollars I think about 64,000 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 India 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.jefferson william
