"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!

Assistant Inspection Director

Hello Friend,

I am Robert Moore, a senior officer at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) New York.

I have very vital information to give to you, but first I must have your trust before I review it to you because it may cost me my job, so I need somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to you. I am Sir Robert moore, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities here at the John F. Kennedy International Airport Queens New York during my search for undelivered parcels I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from Africa 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 $B!H(BMONEY$B!I(B 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 $3,800USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the John F. Kennedy International Airport Queens New York till date. The details of the consignment including your name, your email address and the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box.

I will advise you offer your full information as Below: I will advise you as assistant director of the Inspection Unit,

FULL NAME:
ADDRESS:
PHONE NUMBER:
OCCUPATION:
COUNTRY:
NEAREST AIRPORT:

Please enable me cross check if it is with the address on the official documents including the name of nearest Airport is your address. The supposed to have been transferred to the United States Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in I will not be able to be able to receive it, I will not be able to be able to receive it. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.

Lastly, be informed that the reason I'm told that I have been abandoned consignment is because I want to transact this business and share the money 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 will the award and pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $ 3,800 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.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential.

Thank you.

Robert Moore.
