"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!

Dear Mr Bharat Patel


Good day, My name is Mrs Ashley Coleman, a contractor Researcher at BHR Pharmaceutical Company here in United Kingdom.


The business deal is all about buying and selling of a herbal liquid raw material extract called Oilgal Liquid VV Extra Solution which our company use for the manufacture of cancer treatment and for other cancer related medication.


At the moment our company has exhausted this product, The reason for this scarcity is because the initial man named Mr. Lalit from India who used to supply our company at the time when he was alive has passed away in a car crash a few months back... A few days ago when I was going through the previous invoices which he submitted, i came to realize that Mr. Lalit used to purchase the raw material Oilgal Liquid VV Extra Solution at the rate of $3,000Usd per litre and then re-supply to our company at the rate of $6,500 Usd. Imagine the profit margin he was making, it's simply unbelievable!


For my own personal interest, i confiscated the invoice and wrote down the vendor's information where late Mr. Lalit used to purchase OILGAL LIQUID VV EXTRA SOLUTION. He used to purchase this product in India in a place called Sikkim. This was the information I got from the invoice. I also wrote down the mobile number of the vendor including the email address.


To be quite honest, I don't wish to give the contact details of the Local Vendor to our company director because i am sure I will gain nothing. My director is a very mean person hence there's absolutely no need to give it to him. However I do intend to give you the contact details of the vendor in India in order for you to purchase the raw material from the local vendor and then supply to our company at a higher rate.


We stand an amazing chance to make nothing less than $3,500 Usd from every 1 litre because at the moment our company requires up to 290-300 Litters of Oilgal Liquid VV Extra Solution. Just calculate $3,500×300 then you'd come to realize our profit for a trip.


Finally what i would like you to do is to contact the local vendor in India and communicate in your local language and inquire about the availability of the medical raw material and the current price per litre. Do inform them that you would like to make supply to your clients overseas. After your confirmation, i will post your details through our company post box to our Director projecting you as a Local Dealer of Oilgal Liquid VV Extra Solution in India.


Once our company Director receives your details, he will contact you to inquire about your ability to supply the raw material our company requires for production.


You will need to procure at least 1 Liter of the raw material from the local dealer as sample. The sample you procure will signify to pit company that you are the dealer of the raw material In India.


After your confirmation will ask for your full details and post your details to our company post box presenting you as a dealer of Oilgal Liquid VV Extra Solution to Our Company Director. Alright!

Regards


Mrs Ashley Coleman
