"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!

I am Mr. George Jim David, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Newark Liberty International Airport New Jersey. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in New Jersey USA, and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed ATM CARD. The consignment package 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 package is delayed and abandoned. By my assessment, the ATM CARD package contains about (8 Million United State Dollars). And it still left in the airport storage facility till today. The ATM CARD like I said the details of the ATM CARD contain your full name and email is in the official document from United Nations' office in United States of America 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 ATM CARD or allow us repatriate it back to United Kingdom (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 wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will Appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me via my private Email :(mrgeorgejimdavid@all.bg) for further Directives.

I need all the guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved in this project.

As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your details.
