"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:

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:
- "dear friend" (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)

Dear friend,

I am Mr.Anthony Bucci, director of inspection, united nations
Inspection agent in JFK international airport new york,usa

Due to President Donald Trump executive order our ongoing investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a diplomat.
It was kept under our facility here in JFK Airport New york and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a metal trunk box 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 to avoid diversion by the shipping agent also the diplomat inability to pay for non inspection fees.

On my assumption, I discovered that each of the boxes will contain more than $7m to $10m each and the consignment is still left in storage house till today through a registered shipping company, courier dispatch service limited a division of Royal security ltd.

The consignments are two metal box with weight of about 110kg each (internal dimension: w61 x h156 x d73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 l.)approximately.
I wish to present your name and information as the recipient of the consignment if you agree to cooperate with me and both of us will benefit from this deal.
You will need to Reconfirm your details

1. Full Name
2. Residential Address
3. Age
4. Occupation
5. Direct Telephone Numbers
6. Nearest Airport

All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.
But I must get assurance from you concerning my 30% before I will proceed.

I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the shippers have abandoned it and ran away. We will pay for the non
Inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this airport to your address.
Once we are through I will deploy the services of a secured shipping company geared to provide 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% to you and 30% to me. But you have to assure me of my 30% before proceeding.

I look forward to your response.

Mr. Anthony Bucci
