"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "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: read message below to claim your unclaimed consignment here in our custody

DFW International Airport.
2417 N Support Rd, Dallas, TX 75261,
United states of America

Hello my friend, I am Mr.Donald Johnson, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities United Cargo here at the DFW International Airport 2417 N Support Rd, Dallas, TX 75261 Usa

During my recent withheld 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.

The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as â€œMONEYâ€ rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $570 USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the DFW International Airport 2417 N Support Rd, Dallas, TX 75261 Usa till date.

The details of the consignment including your name, your email address in and the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box. However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise you to provide your current details below:

FULL NAME: ==============
COUNTRY: ==============
CITY: ==============
CURRENT HOME ADDRESS: ===========
TELEPHONE/CELL PHONE NUMBER. =========
AGE/OCCUPATION: =============
NEAREST AIRPORT =========.

I shall await on your swift response backto this message and i advice you email on this email back so i proceed in giving you preocedures to receiving this.

Here my email: ... dj4985456@gmail.com

Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I will get everything concluded within 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.

Regards,
Mr. Donald Johnson,
Officer in charge
DFW International Airport Texas Usa.
