"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!

KINDLY READ CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO ME ,

I am Mr. Jeffrey Daisy Wilbanks, Head of Cargo Inspections, US/United
Nations Inspection department in Nashville International Airport,
Tennessee. During our daily routine Inspection, I discovered an
abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from the United Kingdom and when
it was scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal
Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 110kg each. The consignment was
abandoned because the Content was not properly
declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal
effects/classified documents to either avoid diversion by the Shipping
Agent or confiscation by relevant authorities. By our assessment, each
of the boxes contains about $5,000,000.00(Five Million United States
dollars) or more and they are still in the airport storage facility up
to this moment of sending you this message.

The Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing about
110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective
capacity: 680 L) approximately. The details of the consignment
including your name and email on the official document from United
Nations' office in London where the shipment was tagged as personal
effects/classified documents are still available with us.

As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your...............

(1) Full Name,
(2) Phone Number,
(3) Full Residential Address,

So I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the
official documents. It is now left for you to decide if you still need
the consignment or we repatriate it back to the UK (place of origin)
as we were instructed. Like I did say again, the shipper abandoned it
and ran away because he gave a false declaration, he could not pay for
the yellow tag, he could not secure a valid non inspection
document(s), etc.

We are going to engage the services of a secure shipping/delivery
Company that will provide the necessary security that is required to
deliver the CONSIGNMENTS to your doorstep or the destination of your
choice. I am going to assist you in making sure the packages are
delivered.

KINDLY RESPOND TO THIS OFFICIAL EMAIL ADDRESS:nunited18@aol.com

Jeffrey Daisy Wilbanks
