"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: Buyer

Good morning,

I am Robert P. Akonbiah, a trade negotiator. Our company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is interested in the import of Santalum Spicatum Nopid Oil, it sells cheaper in your country than what our company buys from Australia.

In your country, it is sales at $12,600 a gallon against $32,000 our CEO is buying. I am contacting you to bridge the gap between our company and the local supplier in your country and supply at the rate of $28,000. I don't want the CEO to know the original price and vendor location and after we share the profit 60% for you and 40% for me. The CEO will require 250 gallons minimum regularly and delivery is fob .

Payment method 80% advance telegraphic transfer (TT) against the order and 20% completion upon delivery at the Ex-Warehouse.

I will share the supplier details with you after you tell me what percentage (%) of the profit you will give me after the supply is complete.

Please consider it urgent.

Mr. Edozia John Pascal
Ag. Director Purchase and Outsource Department.
