Herbidacious
My name is Simona Susan, a research assistant working with firstline laboratory. FIRSTLINE Laboratory Inc, is one of the leading laboratories in London, United Kingdom. My company is currently in search of a reliable supplier from your region to represent us in sourcing some of our raw materials used in the production of some life saving drugs and pharmaceutical produce. FIRSTLINE laboratory lost their supplier to this raw material few months ago to Covid19 and it's almost halting production in the company because this raw material is a rare herbal extract which our company is yet to locate a new supplier to buy from. This might not be your area of specialization but it represents a significant opportunity to generate more income for you. This is because our company is yet to locate any supplier to buy from. However, I have been able to discover a manufacturer who can supply us these products. He supplies at a cheap rate,essentially cheaper than our previous purchases. My director is not yet aware that I have found a new seller. Now THIS IS MY PROPOSAL TO YOU:I want you to stand in as a new manufacturer from your country and I will introduce you to our company. The reason for this is that I don't want my company to have direct contacts with the manufacturer that sells this herbal extract very affordably. This will enable us to work together as partners and make real sizable profits from the deal.You, as the manufacturer will supply to our company at a good rate which I will inform you later when we form an agreement and this will attract the attention of our company director to buy from you as against the previous rate . You will be amazed with our total profit. I will give you more specific profit details when I receive feedback from you if you are interested. Thanks.

I could be wrong, but British incorporated companies don't use the Inc
designation, they're usually plc
or Ltd
. But Simona Susan might not know that, because her email address (simona.su@3sgruopcn.com) suggests that she's in China, not London.
I wonder if she's the same simona.su@3sgroupcn.com who's a sales representative for 3S Group. Both 3sgroupcn.com and 3sgruopcn.com are registered domains, but only the former has a website, and it purports to sell water pumps. (thinking)
Anyway, London or Shanghai, I've no idea what rare herbal extract Simona Susan expects to find in my region. Swiss alpine herbs really aren't that rare at all.
I've seen this type of scam once before, on LinkedIn. Back when I first joined, and naively linked openly, one contact immediately got in touch after I accepted his invitation. He wanted me to act as the front for a cheaper supply of horse medication to his employer, to be sold at the same price as the current supply, and I would get to share the savings
with him. Yeah, yeah. But no thanks.
