"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!

Attention

I am GRANT WATSON Inspection Agency in Harts field-Jackson International
Airport Atlanta Georgia. During our investigation, I discovered an
abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
which was transferred from Murtala International Airport. To our
facility here in Atlanta Georgia USA, and when scanned it revealed an
undisclosed sum of money in (2) metal trunk boxes. The consignment was
abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee
as money rather it was declared as personal Effect/classified document
to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by the
relevant authorities.

The diplomat's inability to pay for Non Inspection fees among other
things are the reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned. By
my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4,000,000 USD. They are
still left in the airport storage facility till today. The Consignments
like I said are two metal trunk boxes, the details of the consignment
including your name and email on the official document from United
Nations' office in NIGERIA where the shipment was tagged as personal
effects/classified document is still available with us. As it stands
now, you have to reconfirm your Full name, Phone Number, full address so
I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the official
documents.

It is now left to you to decide if you are the beneficiary and still
need the consignment or allow us repatriate it back to NIGERIA (place of
origin) as we were instructed. Like I did say again, the shipper
abandoned it and ran away most importantly because he gave a false
declaration, he could not pay for the yellow tag, he could not secure a
valid non inspection document(s), etc. I am ready to assist you in any
way I can for you to get back this packages if only you are willing to
work with me with trust. You can either come in person, or you engage
the services of a secure shipping/delivery Company/agent that will
provide the necessary security. That is required to deliver the package
to your doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need the entire
guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved in this
project.
