"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:
- "clearance fee" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "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)
- "trunk boxes" (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)
- "a diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Subject: The Delivery Of Your Consignment Boxes.

Mr.David Nolan,
Administrative Service Inspection Unit
John.F Kennedy International Airport New York.

Good Day,

I am Mr.David Nolan, Administrative Service Inspection Unit United
Nations Inspection Agency. During our investigation, I discovered an
abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was
transferred from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Atlanta,
Georgia to our facility here in New York, and when scanned it revealed
an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing
approximately 110kg each.

The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly
declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal
effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping
Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities. The diplomat's
inability to pay for Non Inspection fees among other things are the
reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned.

By my assessment, We find out that each of the boxes contains about
$5M or more. They are still left in the airport storage facility till
today. The Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing
about 65kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective
capacity: 680 L) Approximately. The details of the consignment
including your name and email on the official document from United
Nations' office in London where the shipment was tagged as personal
effects/classified document is still available with us. As it stands
now, you have to reconfirm your,

(1) Full Name:
(2) Phone Number:
(3) Full Address:
(4) Copy of your ID Card:

so I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the
official documents. It is now left to you to decide if you still need
the consignment or allow us repatriate it back to UK (place of origin)
as we were instructed. You can send the required details to me by
email for onward delivery. All communication must be held extremely
confidential. I can get everything concluded within 1 or 2 day(s) upon
your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery if you assure
me of sharing the content 30% for me / 70% for you on my arrival to
your house.

As I did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most
importantly because he gave a false declaration, he could not pay for
the Non Inspection fees, yellow tag and some other clearance fee, he
could not secure a valid non inspection document(s), etc. I am ready
to assist you in any way I can for you to get back this packages
provided you guarantee me of the sharing of 30% / 70% of the money
once i get to your house. I need all the guarantee that I can get
from you before I can get involved in this project, Note, all
communication must be held extremely confidential for a reasons best
know to me.

Best Regards,

Mr.David Nolan
Administrative Service Inspection Unit
