"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:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
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 free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Compliments,

My name is Dr. Stewart Matins, From London UK, Married with two children.
I got your contact details from a business directory here in London and
decided to contact you directly for a business proposal with my company if
you can understand English language.

My company (Kent Pharmaceuticals UK.) is into manufacturing of
pharmaceutical materials and vaccine medicines to fight against dangerous
diseases like Cancer, Hiv, ASTHMA and many more.

There are some pharmaceutical raw materials (Cloniburg Seeds) which i
usually purchase on behalf of my company from India for the past 4 years.
Presently I have being promoted to the post of General Manager; hence my
company can no longer send me to India to buy the materials because of my
new position as General Manager.

Now my company demands for this raw material (500 sachets) very urgent.
The director of my company has asked me for the contact details of the
local farmer in India, which i am yet to give to him. I need a reliable
business partner whom i will present to the company as the direct local
farmer in India to enable the management to contact him to confirm
availability of the materials and issue him an Official Purchase Order to
source the materials for my company in India.

This business is risk free and the profit margin is very high, the profit
would be shared between you and i, Why i don't want the company to have
direct contact of the local farmer is simply because i don't want the
company to know the actual price i was buying the product.

If you are interested kindly reply me for more details via my personal
Email: stewartmatins@gmail.com
Thanks & Regards,
Dr. Stewart Matins
