I got your contact from (Linkedin) India directory

"I" don't have a LinkedIn profile, "over there in (India)" or elswere.

Sakura Seiki Co., Ltd is a real company. Dr. Ryuichiro Azuma is the President & COO of the company. But... no real company will ever use free email addresses for contacting potential business partners.

The scammers are impersonating both the company and their president.

On Facebook:

Ryuichiro Azuma
Executive Director at President & COO Sakura Seiki Co., Ltd. 75-5, ImojiyaChikuma City, 387-0015 Japan

On Xing:

Dr. Dr Ryuichiro Azuma
President & COO , Sakura Seiki Co., Ltd.
Cape Town , South Africa

The " raw material called (ZAPOMITE)" is a bait item.

In some of the scams, zapomite is a herb and the scammers pretend to be interested to buy seeds.

In others, zapomite is a mineral.

Back in 2018, while impersonating another real company, the same scam was used by the same Nigerian scammers to target potential victims in their own country - https://embassy-finder.com/nigeria_in_t ... pan?page=2:
