"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: I'm looking for a reliable businessman/individual in your region

Hello 



I'm Susan Rustam , an Executive Assistant working with FIRSTLINE
LABORATORY (UK). I'm looking for a reliable
businessman/individual in your region to represent my company in
sourcing some of our basic raw materials used in the
manufacturing of high quality Anti-Viral vaccines, and other life
saving pharmaceutical products.
 
This might not be your area of specialization but it represents a
significant opportunity to generate more income for you. This is
because our company is yet to locate any supplier to buy from.
However, I have been able to discover a local dealer who can
supply us with these products. He supplies at a cheap rate,
essentially cheaper than our previous purchases.
 
My director is not yet aware that I have found a new seller . Now
THIS IS MY PROPOSAL TO YOU: I want you to stand in as a new local
dealer from your country and I will introduce you to our company.
The reason for this is that I don't want my company to have
direct contact with the local agent that sells this herbal oil
extract very affordably.
 
This will enable us to work together as partners and make real
sizable profits from the deal.
You, as the local seller, will supply our company at a good rate
which I will inform you later when we form an agreement and this
will attract the attention of our company director to buy from
you as against the previous rate . You will be amazed with our
total profit . I will give you more specific profit details when
I receive feedback from you if you are interested.
 
 
Best Regards 
Susan Rustam
