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

DAVID CARL LEE

INSPECTION UNIT JOHN F KENNEDY

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT NEW YORK.

I am David Carl Lee, Chief Inspection Agent- United Nations Inspection Unit

at John F. Kennedy International airport, New York- working hand in hand

with Department of Homeland Security and U.S Customs and Border Protection.

During our investigation, 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 weighing approximately 25kg each.

The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly

declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal

effect to avoid diversion by the shipping agent and also the Diplomat

inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain about $3 Million to $4

Million each and the consignment is still left in the storage house till

today. The consignment are two metal boxes with weight of about 25kg each

(Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 110 LBS.).

Approximately, the details of the consignment including your name and

address, the official document from United Nation office in Africa are

tagged on the Metal Trunk boxes.

PROVIDE YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER FULL HOME ADDRESS

AND NEAREST AIRPORT AROUND YOUR CITY.

You can send the required details to me by email for onward delivery. All

communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything

concluded within 5-6 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address

for delivery if you assure me of sharing the content 30% for me/70% with

you on my arrival to your house.

I want us to transact this business with you and share the money, since the

shipper has abandoned it and disappeared. I will pay for the Non inspection

fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this airport to your

address by myself. But I will share it 30%/70% with you.

Below is my direct Respond as soon as you

receive this mail and send me all the requested information to my email.

Best Regards.
