"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: Urgent supply

Attention,

Permit me to relate this purchase and supply business relationship with You. I work with Parexel Pharmaceuticals and research company, United Kingdom.

There is a product my company use in manufacturing of medicines, We buy this product from Nepal but i found the contact of the supplier of the same product in China through an agent and its very cheap to compare the price we used to buy from Nepal but i wouldn't like to refer my company direct to the supplier, i also do not want them to know that the source is China because i want to increase the price and make money, i will like you to act as the Supplier.

I know this is not your line of business but you don't require any expertise nor license to do this. The product is called winter warm summer plant. We use it to produce medicine for cancer. I will give u the contact of the Dealer in China where you will buy at very cheap rate and sell to my company at higher rate and you'll give me 50% of the profit generated in the whole transactions while the rest 50% goes to you.

Its my friend who works as an agent that helped source a particular supplier whose product has been proven efficient. The product is sold at $120.00 per pack of 1kg there but you will sell to my company at $300/kg because we used to buy from Nepal at the rate of $500/kg. I have the contact of a Lab where the authentic quality is extracted but i don't want to refer my company directly to the dealer, you will be a middle man between my company and the dealer, I mean you will buy from the dealer and sell to my company, it's a form of buying and selling.

This will be a continues transaction and not only one time. If you are willing to handle the transaction I will give you the contact details of the supplier in China where you will get the product.

Regards.
Jerry Alexis
