"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)

Attn: Sir/Madam

My name is Mr.Rex Newman,i am an Inspection Agent attached with Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta Georgia.In the course of our official inspections at the customs storage ware house, i discovered an abandoned shipment via UK by a Diplomat. when i personally scanned it, our cash-track machine detected that the content of the Consignments are cash,it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in Metallic Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 45kg each. On my assumption, each of the 2 boxes will contain more than $5M or above in each.

On further investigation, i discovered that the consignment was abandoned due to wrong declaration of the content, also the Diplomats inability to pay for Non Inspection/Yellow Tag Fees and other required documents because he did not know the content of the boxes.

I will arrange for the boxes to be released by the customs with your able assistance where necessary and delivery will be effected upon further arrangements by both parties for consignments to be moved out of this Airport to your address, once we are through I will deploy the services of a secured couriers section geared to provide the security it needs to your doorstep.

Now i want to strike a deal with you, in your acceptance i will proceed on this. I have the capacity to secure the release of your consignment with my status as a Fiduciary Agent with your cooperation and assistance. You will compensate me as soon as the consignments are been delivered to your designated address.

If you are not in agreement with this proposal, please disregard it. But if you can meet with my condition, then we have a deal. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours and proceed to your address for delivery upon your acceptance. Write me on this email:( rexnewman391@gmail.com)if you accepts to work with me.Send me your cell phone number and your address and your full name.

You can as well call me on this number (+1) 404 -662 -5859, if you wish to speak with me but if you call and could not reach me on phone note that i am on the field for inspection, So leave your information so that i can reach you when i am back in the office.

Signed,

Mr.Rex Newman

Director Of Operations,Inspection Unit
