"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: FAIR DEAL

Dear Sir,

Our earlier conversation refers.

The product: Sandalwood Essential Oil (Australia Sandalwood Essential
Oil Specie)
This is a very high aromatic oil that our company applies as an
essential ingredient in making of some of our skin care products. The
fragrance is distinguishing and it adds extra quality to our products
which helps us to stand tall above our competitors. This essential oil
is non-irritant, non-toxic and non-sensitizing. Due to issues of
deforestation the product has become scarce in Australia where our
company hitherto gets supplies from.

SEARCH OF SUPPLIER:
I am contacting you because I have privileged information that the
product is also available in your region (India and Bangladesh) at
even lower price and I would want to engage you to source the product
over there and supply to our company in the UK. I would privately
collaborate with you to ensure smooth supply of the product to us. I
am the procurement Manager of our company,SC Johnson Inc, UK branch.

THE STANDARD AND QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT:
As a high-quality product that enjoys huge demand, some dealers often
sell substandard types, but our company needs the best quality of
Australian Sandalwood Essential Oil. Below is the chemical profile of
this best quality:

Alpha-Santalol15 -25%
Epi-Alpha-Bisalobol2-12%
Trans-Alpha-Bergamotol2-10%
Epi-Beta-Santalol0.5-3.5%
Trans Farnesol2-15%
Cis-Beta-Santalol5-20%
Cis-Nuciferol, Cis Gamma-Curcumen 12-Ol 2-15%
Cis-Lanceol2-10%
Optical Rotation @ 20 C: 16 To +4
Relative Density@ 20 C: 0.945-0.980
Refractive Index @ 20 C: 1.500 To 1.517
Packaging:The packing comesin bottles of varied quantity.

PRICING:We often receive supply at$6,200 per liter from Australia;
however, information at my disposal reveals that the same quantity is
traded now at$3,400 or less by local dealers in your region,
particularly India. This is a significant price difference that we can
capitalize on and make huge profit.


SUPPLY PLAN

If you are interested in taking up the supply, I will formally
introduce you to our company for appropriate business relationship.
Subsequently a letter of intent would be sent to you by our management
to establish our commitment to buy the product from you. You will
source the product from the local dealers at a lower price, and you
can comfortably supply to our company at the rate of $6,200 per liter
as we usually purchase from the previous suppliers.

As our company’s standard procedure, you will be required as a first
step to provide small quantity of the product as sample, if the sample
is tested and confirmed to meet our company’s required standard, you
will be issued a purchase order for bulk supply.
Considering that there will be a huge profit to be realized in the
supply, I would expect you to factor in my interest by sharing part of
the profit to me. You and I will mutually agree on what percentage
that each us of will share.

Since the product is not very common, it stands to reason that you may
not have good knowledge about it. Therefore, to ensure that you easily
source the product, and to also guarantee that you procure the
appropriate quality that will meet our company’s standard, you will be
properly guide on how to reach the local dealers. In this respect, I
will consult with my professional colleague whose company buys the
product from India so that he can provide information of the reliable
dealers whose product is top notch and can pass laboratory test in our
company. I will make the dealer contact information available to you
immediately I have it.

I sincerely hope we will have a fruitful business relationship for our
mutual benefit.You are advised to send your WhatsApp number then I
will add you to my contact list and initiate calls/chats thereof.


Kindly confirm receipt and give your thoughts.
Kindly contact me on my private.
