"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!

Subject: Delivery of your =?iso-8859-1?Q?cons=ADignments?=

Attn:..

I am a former US Army Contractor presently working as the Assistant
Director Inspection Unit of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) USA.
During our recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage
Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment left by a diplomat from Baghdad
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 51kg 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
United States Non Inspection Charges which is about $3,800 USD.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain more than $68 Million to
$70 Million each and the consignment is still left at our Storage House
here at the Los Angeles 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 Geneva 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 States 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
