"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:

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)
- "trunk boxes" (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)
- "a diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)

Subject: Your Abandoned Package

Hello

I am Martins Roger, the Inspection Unit Manager, United Nations Inspection Agency, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, Georgia.

Your abandoned package shipped by a diplomat from United Kingdom was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes.

The Trunk Boxes was abandoned because the Contents wasn't properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect/classified document probably 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 Boxes are abandoned.

By my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4 Million or more.They are still left in the airport storage facility till today. The details of the consignment on the official document from United Nation office in London was tagged as personal effects/classified document is available with us.

False declaration and non payment for the yellow tag including not securing a valid non inspection document(s), etc. was reasons for abandoning the boxes. However, I am ready to assist you in any way I can for you to secure the release and shipment to your doorstep.

I will appreciate your quick response.

Regards,
Martins Roger
Inspection Manager
