"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.

Subject: Request for Business proposal and partnership

Hello,
My name is Denys Markovich, purchasing manager with Sandvik Mining Company, I want to discuss this urgent business opportunity at my disposal with you, My company has concluded negotiations with a company for the supply of mining equipment. The company's proposal is valued at US$ 9.800,000 and our directors approved the contract. and I have also endorsed it as the purchasing manager, I must send the contract approval to the supplier to sign before the fund will be released, but I just received another proposal from a Chinese company to supply the same equipment at a lesser cost of $6.500,000.

Now I personally want to make this deal with the Chinese company and earn the extra $3.300,000. However, I will need a trusted individual who can stand as a representative to a company to sign the contract and receive the $9.800,000 from my company so that we can split the extra $3.300,000 after transferring $6.500,000 million to the Chinese company, contact me on my private email below :

( khansohail558@hotmail.com)

Thank you for your understanding while I await your immediate response.

Compliments,
Denys Markovich
(Purchasing Manager)
