"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "the consignment" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "trunk box" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "consignment " (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "the diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "a diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)

 Interim Head of
Luggage/Baggage (Operations,Maintenance,Transportation) Honolulu
International Airport 300 Rodgers Boulevard, Honolulu, HI 96819,
USA +17608702610 Attention: Please 
Re: Your Abandoned Package For Delivery I have
very vital information to give to you, but first I must have your trust
before I review it to you because it may cause me my job, so I need
somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to
you. I am David E.Jordan, Head of luggage/baggage storage
facilities (Operations) here at Honolulu International Airport USA, During
my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I
discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from Africa and when
scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box
weighing approximately 110kg. The consignment was abandoned because
the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee
as “MONEY” rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid
interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United
States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my assumption the
consignment is still left in our Storage Vault here at the Honolulu
International air port till date,the details of the consignment including
your name, your email address and the official documents from the United
Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box. However, to
enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment, as
the Interim Head of Luggage/Baggage Unit, I will advise you provide your
current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable me cross check if it
corresponds with the address on the official documents tagged. Note
that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United
States Treasury Department OR to its country of origin as unclaimed
delivery,I will not be able to receive your details on my official email
account. So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will
advise you send the required details to my private email address for quick
processing and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the
trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your
acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. Lastly, be
informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact you
personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to
transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me
since the consignment have not yet been return to the United States
Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately
the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States
Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be
delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more
trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share. I wait to hear
from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can
keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me via my private
Email (airdilevery@gmail.com) for further directives: and please note
that i will only call you as at when due to avoid any
trace. Thank you. David E.Jordan +17608702610
