"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,

Please permit me to introduce myself. I am MR ANTHONY KUJA. I am an
expert and specialist in the oil industry as an independent
Feasibility/Project Management Consultant to oil refineries and other
oil industries in Southern African, East Africa and some parts of Asia.
Our mandate includes identifying specific licensed crude oil export/
marketing firms and recommending these firms to the oil refineries for
supply of crude oil to the refineries.

On my desk is a mandate from one of the refineries to arrange for crude
oil purchase from Libya for up to 2,000,000 barrels on monthly bases for
12 calendar months. The essence of my reaching out to you is the fact
that I am in the process of building a middle man structure to mediate
between the 2 parties involved before the contract is signed. You may be
wondering why I cannot do it by myself right? The honest fact is that as
a consultant to these oil refineries, we are not allowed to act as
suppliers of crude oil to them as well, hence the reason I need a
trustworthy person outside my work circle in order to maintain a
discreet profile.

I wish to extend this partnership to you my friend to build a middle man
structure with you, while I work from the back to guide you. Our
commission/brokerage as middle persons is between $2 - $3 per barrel as
case may be. So if the target of 2M barrels is met monthly we stand to
share $4M - $6M every month for a span of 12 months with possible
extension.

Worry less about the speedy sales as I have contacts within oil
producing country's top officials for license of crude oil
export/lifting to any firm I present for this business. Therefore, if
you are able to handle this transaction with honesty and integrity, you
should come back to me immediately for more details. Your urgent
response is highly needed and you can reach me on the following email
address below

Regards.
