"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!

Good Day Prestigious Representative,

EMPLOYMENT AT JUTE FABRICS COMPANY

Would you like to work online from home temporarily and get paid weekly ?
We are glad to offer you a job in our company, JUTE FABRICS International
Limited. We need trustworthy individual to work for the company as a
representatives in other words you represents the unit in which our
customers clients can reach out to us present our payment meant for our
product supplied over time to the Head Of Account Operations of the firm.

This is in view of having our office only in the UK. You don't need to
have an Office and this certainly wont disturb any form of work you have
going at the moment.

The Company produces the following varieties of clothing materials,
batiks, assorted fabrics for interior decor, silk and traditional
costumes, etc.

Our integrated yarn and fabric manufacturing operations use
state-of-the-art textile equipment from the world's leading suppliers .
Order processing production monitoring and process flow are seamlessly
integrated through a company-wide computer network.


About the job:
Our company manufactures and sells textile and fabrics imported from China
& Hong Kong and we have sales representatives all over the world to
distribute our products. It's not easy to start a business in a new
market. There are hundreds of competitors, close direct contacts between
suppliers and customers and other difficulties, impede our sales
promotion.

We have decided to deliver the products upfront, it's very risky but it
should push up sales on 25 percent. Thus we need to get payments for our
products as soon as possible because customers can just "forget" to pay.
Unfortunately we are unable to open bank accounts around the world without
first registering the company name. Our company is registered with the US
BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU currently, presently with the amount of Orders we
have, we cannot put them on hold.

For fear of loosing the customers outrightly. Secondly we cannot cash
these payments from our customers soon enough as international Cheques
take about 14 working days for cash to be made available.

We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money
transfer delays.

YOUR TASK:
Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with the
payment process. You are not invloved in any sales. Our sales manager
sells products and once he makes a sale we deliver the product to a
customer (usually through FEDEX).

The customer receives and checks the products. After this has been done
the customer has to pay for the products,about 90 percent of our customers
prefer to pay through certified checks, wire transfer, money orders based
on the amount involved. We have decided to open this new job position for
solving this problem.

Your tasks are:
1. Receive payment from Customers
2. Cash Payments at your Bank
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage commission deduction
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage as you would be directed
by our account department on that.

After establishing close co-operation you'll be able to operate with
larger orders and you'll be able to earn more. This job takes only 1-2
hours per week. You'll have a lot of free time doing another job, you'll
get good income and regular job.

But this job is very challenging and you should understand it. We are
looking for workers who satisfy our requirements and will be an earnest
assistant.

We are glad to offer this job position to you. If you feel that you are a
serious and earnest worker and if you want to work for JUTE FABRICS
International Limited. Please fill the employment form below and send back
to me via e-mail contact below. You will receive necessary information in
