"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!

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "please endeavor to " (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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)

Subject: THANK GOD I HAVE FOUND YOU

Interim Assistance General Manager,
(Operations, Maintenance, Transportation)
Harrisburg International Airport Pennsylvania
IATA: IAH, ICAO: KIAH USA

Hello Good Friend,

Re: 'Loose Lips Sink Ships'

The information am about revealing to you is very substantial and vital but before I give you any detail about this classified information, I must seek your utmost discretion about these vital information that's going to change our lives forever. Any mistake might cost me my job therefore I need to know if I can trust you enough in order for me to reveal this secret to you.

I am Paul Crowell, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities (Operations, Maintenance and Transportation) here at the Harrisburg International Airport Pennsylvania (IATA: IAH, ICAO: KIAH) USA. During my recent package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from London 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 items (I.E SHOES, BAGS AND CLOTHES) to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $8,700USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Harrisburg International Airport Pennsylvania till date.

During the Airport's Private search for the owner of the package your name and email contact was among the findings that matches the same surname of the actual beneficiary who has long forgotten the existence of the Package.To maintain the level of high security standard required by the airport authorities I have intentionally left out the final details of the consignment.

Airport Storage Vault/legislation demands that I notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory time period when luggage/baggage storage facilities of this type are called in by the Airport regulatory bodies if nobody applies to claim the package. I urge you to come forward since I can provide you with the details needed for you to claim the consignment Box so that I can be gratified by you in the ratio of 70% for you and 30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned 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 $8,700 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.

Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. To affirm your willingness and cooperation,please do so by replying me at my private email:(paul.crowell300@outlook.com) for further directives. Also drop you private/cell phone number for easy communication.

Thank you.
Paul Crowell.
