Hello,

Firstly I will like to introduce my self to you, well I am Mary Morris I'm
working with Medivet Veterinary Group here in London, I am looking for a
dependable individual that I can trust, someone who will be wiling and
honest enough to carry out this transaction with deli gent to the best of
his/her ability.There has been a high level of demand in our company for a
particular vaccine of farm animals, which is mainly found in Malaysia ,
this particular vaccine is called BIOTHERN 12 XP.This product has been
prove to be the best here in London for the rearing of farm animals and
veterinary home, the secret of this transaction is that my company has
gotten absolutely no idea of the dealers and the price at which it's been
sold over there in Malaysia. i once had a contact before in Malaysia Mr
Lee, before this time we usually get this product from Germany at the
equivalent price of $4,300 USD, I personally carried out a research on my
own and got to find out that this product was right in Malaysia at a more
affordable rate and of the same quality and activeness ($1,510.00USD) per
carton,

The quantity demand from my company is 70 to 80 cartons monthly, How ever
my company is making plans for another purchase, so my idea and interest
is for you to take the place of the real supplier and maintain my
company's purchase price of ($3,157.23USD) at which my boss has bought
before, as it will be a continues transaction.The mode of this transaction
is Cash at the point of delivery, on the note of your wiliness to assist
in facilitating this transaction on your own using your capital, we shall
both come to a compromise to determine our own terms of percentage, all
that is required in this transaction is for you to be purchasing this
product from the real dealers at the good rate of ($1,510.00USD) while
making sales to my boss at the rate of ($3,157.23USD) taking the place of
the real supplier, after which we will both make our profit from the
interest which is suppose to go to the dealers. Perhaps we could agree on
a 60/40 Percentage respectively, if ok by you.all i needed from u is to be
kind, honest,trustYour reply is of great important, all information needed
is intact, and all that matters now is your respond.Kindly get to me back
with your contact,fax number, phone number,i hope to hear from you soon.

I would say that the key phrase here is

.

At a guess, I would say that you send the payment for the goods, on the premise that they will in turn be purchased from you at the higher price. Of course, the goods don't exist, so you send your money and that's the last you ever hear from them.

Might be a good bait for getting bank accounts, as you wouldn't be able to send the money required for 70 cartons by WU.

That brings mental pictures I'd rather not have.

Sometimes the product changes, but these go around periodically--you are expected to buy the product from the "alternate" supplier (aka the scammer himself) and then "resell" it to the scammer's "boss".

So you hand over $1510 times however many shipments the scammer can con you into, and he either disappears or sends you a fake check for $3K plus.

Since this is a legit Vet here: http://www.medivet.co.uk/

I would bait the lad for a while, and then when it came time to send the 'payment', I would tell him I had lost his contact information and found it on the web and mailed the payment there (to the legit site). Watch your lad try to get out of it. After all, he can't say he didn't get it, right?

NN has done this modality with fake charity scammers many times with great resulting lad pain. Very Happy

last time I've seen something similar was a report of a victim in asia, malaysia if I remember right, with asian lad/ladette, but with 'website in GB' and the product was vaccine for cattle.
here it is rare.

edit: this are slick bastards. .. [email protected] is some uni or the like, in el salvator, and the reply to ..telefonica.net is spain i guess, this is coming via spam-bot, not from a loneley yahoo-yahoo. and now I remember, the vaccine-website was a cheap fake. hey, maybe i could still have copy of it somewhere, because of cheap-looking, but effectiv . but am not shure.)
