"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!

Subject: Re; Can you help ?


I am surprised that you did not get my first mail to you. I am Narciso
Djedje. A South Africa Customs Inspection Agent in Tambo International
Airport South Africa.

During our Inspection, I discovered an abandoned metal box on Transit to
United Arab Emirate (UAE), the package was scanned and the result indicates
that the package contains cash valued at Twenty-two million Two hundred
thousand United State currency and all in $100 bills with official
documents of the conveyor. But prior to our investigation, i learnt the
Diplomat violated section 592 of South Africa Customs Law and disappeared
because he was sent to make the delivery to UAE under the instructions and
agreement of a Nigerian police officer, Abba Kyari, Who is currently having
issues with the FBI and Nigerian drug Agency.

Here are the link and YouTube videos for your clarification:

However, the box has been held under our facility @New Agents Building
Jones Road Cargo Division Johannesburg South Africa. I am writing to you
because the South African government will be confiscating the entire
contents and diverting the funds into a federal reserve bank as nobody
knows if might spend his entire life in FBI Custody.

Kindly Let me know if you can handle this deal with me which I believe will
benefit us both as I intend to present you as the receiver and beneficiary
of the box and ensure its been released to you. So please get back to me if
you are interested because my plans towards this deal are as follows:
Invest my own share on Real Estates, Industries, Fisheries, Transports and
Hotels in Europe/ Asia or your preferred country.

Feel free to ask me any questions as I want you to receive the box of
consignment and we share the contents equal. Thanks for reading my mail as
I am expecting your mail soon.

Narciso Djedje
