"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 day,
I'm glad we can connect here, I'm Philip Roger, a research
assistant of the research and development department working with
med pharmaceutical laboratories UK, One of the leading bio
pharmaceutical companies here in England.I am looking for a
reliable businessman/individual in your region to represent my
company in sourcing some of our basic raw material used in the
manufacturing of high quality Anti-Viral Vaccines, Cancer
treatment and other life saving Pharmaceutical Products.
This may not be your area of specialization but it will be
another income generating business within your capacity.This is
because our company is yet to locate any seller to buy from,
however, I have been able to discover a local dealer/producer who
can supply us with this product. He is selling at a cheap rate,
which is far more cheaper than our previous purchases.
Now THIS IS MY PROPOSAL TO YO: 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 because I don't want my company
to have direct contact with the local agent that sells this
herbal oil extract very cheap.
This will enable us to work together as partners and make real
cool profits. You as the local seller will supply to our company
at a good rate which I will inform you later when we are in
agreement and this will attract the attention of our company
director who would love to purchase from you as against the
previous rate . You will be amazed with our total profit. Hence i
will give you more specific profit details when I receive
feedback from you if you are interested.
Regards,
Philip Roger
Executive Administrator.
