"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: BUSINESS INVESTMENT PROPOSAL

Hello, my name is Don Padron M. Solis,


I would like to share this business idea with you which is lucrative and another means of income for you. Howard George is a Research Assistant in the Research and Development Department working with Abbott Laboratory Ltd. The company needs a bio herbal oil extract Jerodroxin HT 04 herbal extract which they usually buy from Australia, South America, China, Thailand at a reasonable of US$16,200 per drum, but due to Covid these countries don't have it. The company is sourcing the raw material used in the manufacture of high-quality antiviral vaccines, cancer treatment, and other life-saving pharmaceuticals.

Jerodroxin Herbal Extract HT 04 is used in suppressive drugs for HIV, gives good analytical results and proves to be a corrective cure for cancer and helps in curing tuberculosis. Jerodroxin HT 04 herbal extract is a new and exclusive cold-pressed and pressurized raw material that we need for the manufacture of so many life-saving medicines. It is a blend of rare herbs from organic plants that are nurtured in good environmental conditions to achieve great results after careful preparation.

The Abbott Company wants a supplier to handle the supply of these pressurized raw materials that we need to manufacture so many life-saving medicines right now. I used to buy it for $7,700 a barrel from Turkey and supply it to the Abbott company at a price rate of $16,200 a barrel, but the quantity they want to order now is 80 barrels which I can't handle. Usually the order is for 15 barrels, but now their order quantity has increased due to high demand for the cancer drug they used to make. I don't want them to know that I don't have the capacity to supply the demand quantity because I have already supplied the product three times so far.

The supply payment terms of the Abbott laboratory company are 100% payment at sight of the BL bill of lading. and it has always been a successful, transparent and stress-free business.

Sincerely,

Don Padron Miguel Solis
