"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.

Subject: Your Abandoned Consignment Urgent Response Needed ASAP

Hello,

I am Mr. Marvin Carradine a former US Army Contractor presently working as
the Assistant Director Inspection Unit of New Delhi International Airport
(ICI) INDIA. During our recent withheld package routine check at the
Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment left by a
diplomat from India who was supposed to deliver these packages to you but
failed to provide necessary clearances needed by the US Customs and when
scanned recently, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in two Metal
Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 25kg each. 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
diversion by the Shipping Agent and also the inability of the diplomat to
pay for the INDIA Non Inspection Charges which is about $3,800 USD.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more than $2.5 Million to
$2.5 Million each and the consignment is still left at our Storage House
here at the New Delhi Int Airport till date which was delivered through a
registered shipping Company known Courier Dispatch Service Limited a
division of Tran guard LTD. Approximately, the details of the consignment
includes your name, your email address and the official document from the
United Nations office in New Delhi and are all tagged on the Metal Trunk
boxes.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this
consignment, 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 including the name of nearest Airport around your city
and other details. Please note that this consignment is supposed to have
been returned to the United Nation and India Treasury Department as
unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding the clearance processes
so as a result of this, 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 "SECURED" email
address which is ( lynellicarradine@yahoo.com.hk ) for quick processing
and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk
boxes, I can get everything concluded within 3-6 hours 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 shipment is because I want us to
transact this business and share the money together in the trunk boxes
since the consignment has not yet been returned to the INDIA Treasury
Department after being abandoned by the shipper so immediately the
confirmation is made, I will pay for the INDIA Non Inspection Fee and
arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address. Once
we are through with this process, I will deploy the services of a secured
shipping Company geared towards providing the security it needs to your
doorstep. Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble. But I will
share it 70%/30% with you. But you have to assure me of my 30% share.

Below are my direct telephone numbers as I wait to hear from you urgently
if you are still alive.

Mr. Marvin Carradine
Assistance Inspection Director
New Delhi International Airport
New Delhi, CA90045, INDIA (ICI)
