"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!

Good morning,



PRODUCTS CONTRACT SUPPLY
My name is Kofi Nana Kofi, I work with the ministry of Agriculture in Ghana. Our division is mainly into research and

production of drugs for animal's related deceases. I am personally contacting you base on a business proposition that I feel

will be beneficial to both parties. Majority of the ingredients used in production by the agency are procured from Asia,

America and Middle East which is the reason why I am contacting you.Essential Oil is one of the most expensive Raw materials

in our Anti-cancer Integrative medical production and is not risky or illegal product by any country law as it's used in

producing Integrative medicine which is for healing-oriented medicine for all forms of cancers related illness in animal and

human.


Formerly our company purchased it from a United Arab Emirate (UAE) based supplier until we lost him to death this February,

but the product are found in your country which is the same place where the United Arab Emirate supplier source from

because recently, I confidentially got the contact of the local dealer in your country through his secretary and I came to

know that this product is sold at manufacturing rate of $12,300 from your country but it is supplied to our company at the

rate of$23,300 per gallon. I have the contact of the local dealer of which I don't want to share to my director since I have

personal interest in the business.I am looking out for a reliable and competent business person that I trust who will be

able to bridge the gap between the local vendor and our company and have the product supply directly after receiving advance

payment, without letting anyone in our ministry know the source and the value price of the product. Thereafter, all the

profit you made from the supply will be share with me 60% to you 40% to me that is all I want. If you are interested I will

send you a draft copy of an agreement that will protect us from courruption.

If you are interested I will like to speak with you for better understandings of the transaction proceedure kindly leave

your Phone/Whatsapp number for effective and enhanced communication? Please consider it urgent.



Thanks.

Yours sincerely,


Mr.Kofi Nana Kofi.
