"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!

Dear owner ,


I am James Adrian Clymer, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service
Inspection Agency Reno–Tahoe International Airport, 2001 E Plumb Ln, Reno,
NV 89502. United States. During our investigation, I discovered an
abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from London, which was transferred
from London Heath-row international Airport to JFK Airport in New York then
to our facility here in Reno–Tahoe International Airport and when scanned
it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Boxes weighing
approximately 30kg. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was
not properly declared by the consignee 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 present British Custom Clearance Certification
Document to back up the consignment are the reason why the consignment is
delayed and abandoned and the Custom Clearance Certification can only be
obtained from the British Customs Authority there in London where the
shipment/boxes originated from .By my own assessment,the box contains about
$2M or more.They are still left in the airport storage facility till today.
The Consignments like I said is a metal box weighing about 30kg (Internal
dimension: W31 x H76 x D37 (cm) effective capacity: 340 L) Approximately.


The details on the consignment are your full names,Address in and Phone
number and the official document from London/United Kingdom where the
shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified document and are with
Airport Authority. As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your full name,
Phone Number, full address.
