"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!

Hello Friend,

I am Dr.Mopina Johnson, I am a Veterinarian at Farmers Solution Limited
in United Kingdom. This company is a contractor to the United Nations (UN)
and was recently awarded a contract to supply some vaccines used on animals
for related diseases.

Presently, these vaccines are very expensive here in the United Kingdom
but relatively very cheap from a source in your country. The price of the
vaccines in your country is three times less than the price here according
to my findings. If my proposal sounds interesting to you, I will like to
introduce you to our company for you to take over the supply as our
sole agent in your country while you share your profit with me.feel-free to
write me back and I will give you more information.

Please include your phone number.

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr.Mopina Johnson
