"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!

What we are offering here is not the "natural" miracle medicine.
Ours is a science-based weight loss solution, we're not one of the thousands of seedy companies offering some awesome anti-obesity pills.
You notice how their favorite buzzword seems to be natural?
There's nothing "all-natural" about forcing your body shed extra pounds while doing nothing, these scammers prey on naive customers that just want to get healthy and will believe all the lies they tell.
Our diet supplement is not totally 100% natural, it is based on actual science; you won't desired body overnight, but we'll help your body drop weight at a quicker rate.
As a little thank you, we'll give you a limited discount
