"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!

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.

- ",000,000" (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)
- "waiting for your urgent response" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)

Subject: Can we take this Opportunity together.

Good day,

I am Mr Mohammad Sanni Abdul,Chief Inspection Officer of Malaysia Airport Sdn. Bhd, Malaysia. During our investigation, our investigation agent informed me that An abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from United Kingdom under Medittaranean forwarder was transferred from cranfield Airport to our facility here in Malaysia and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 117kg. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent, and also the Diplomat inability to pay for non Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, this trunk box will contain more than $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 (Three Million to Four Million Dollars) and the consignment is still left in storage house till today through a registered shipping Company. The Consignment is a metal box with weight of about 117kg (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity:680)Approximately, The details of the consignment which include the name and the official document from the United Nations office in London are tagged on the Metal Trunk box.

I would hereby want you to Provide me with your Name, contact Phone Number, full address, Name of nearest Airport around you and other vital details ( Including a copy of a valid means of Identification) which this Trunk box will be delivered to you or disregard and delete this message if you are not interested to partner in this deal. I f you find yourself interested for this deal, then you can send the required details to me for onward delivery. Note that ALL communication must be held extremely confidential.

I would want us to transact this business and share the money since the shipper of the box have abandoned it. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the box to be moved out of the Airport to you. The services of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the security it needs to your doorstep will be made available the movement of this fund Or I can bring it MYSELF to avoid any more trouble But we have to agree on the sharing percentage of 60% for me and 40% goes to you. If you can assure me in agreement of the sharing term, then we can proceed as soon as possible.

Will be waiting for your urgent response with details( Name in Full, Full Address, Phone number, Copy of your ID) as demanded above.

Mohammad Sanni Abdul

C.I.O, Malaysia Airport.
