"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: VACCINE FOR DMV

I work with Walgreens Pharmaceuticals Inc, United States of America. We are into the production of Pharmaceutical products, 

Animal Vaccines and Anti-retroviral drugs. There is a raw material my company uses for the production of Animal Vaccines 

and Anti-retroviral drugs called (Qharzito Seeds). It was first introduced to our company by a Chinese veterinary doctor a 

few years ago. (Qharzito Seeds.(Q.S) is most important Ingredient/herbs used in the manufacture of expensive Anti-

retroviral medicine and Dolphin Morbillivirus Vaccine (DMV) for bottle-nose-dolphin. These pure (Qharzito Seeds.(Q.S) are 

very scarce and in high demand for every modern drugs on ‘Animaccine’ and Retroviral remedies.
Our company through my department among others materials, purchase this herbal product (Qharzito Seeds.(Q.S) which has been 

proved to be useful in curing deadly diseases in human and animals from suppliers at the rate of $3,100 per 1kg sachet. The 

few available suppliers buy from the local farmers at the rate of $1,317 per 1kg sachet including shipping to United 

States, leaving a balance of $1,783 as profit! I discretely collected the contact information of the direct farmers to 

obtain these details, but I do not wish to disclose my findings to our management, because I want to secretly and swiftly 

benefit from this very lucrative trade as it stands! 

My proposal is simple; I need a trustworthy individual or business organization that will act as a supplier to our firm. If 

you are interested, I will provide all necessary directives of the dealers, farmers and how to supply the raw materials to 

my organization. My firm averagely consumes about 3,000kg. (Three thousand Kilograms) monthly, and supplies are made in 

batches. A profit of $1,783 per sachet multiplied by possible supply of 500 sachets on averages will fetch US$891,500 free 

income, (outside of job value)!!! I can easily work out a purchase agreement between you and my pharmaceutical organization 

which will make them issue you a purchase agreement and Purchase Order (PO) as soon as possible.

The Flat point is that Great Pharmaceuticals shall only require test-sample of the herb from you as a proof of your ability 

to supply such medicinal herb. Our company is ready to pay you in advance to make the supply if you are worthy to provide 

the sample from the farmer. This material is scarce and rare to find, so new contributors could be entertain with respect!

NOTE: THIS IS GENUINE AND LEGITIMATE OFFER AND THE ( Qharzito Seeds.(Q.S) IS LEGAL HERB! BUT I DO NOT WANT MY COMPANY TO 

HAVE THE DIRECT CONTACT OF THE CAMBODIA OR SOUTHERN AFRICAN LOCAL DEALER, IF THIS HAPPENS,WE CANNOT MAKE ANY PROFIT AND IT 

CAN EVEN COST ME MY JOB.
