"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!

Hello,

I am Mr. A White the Assistant Director Inspection Unit /
United Nations Inspection Agency O Hare International
Airport in Chicago USA.

During my recent routine check at the Airport Storage /
vault on withheld packages, I discovered an abandoned
shipment from a Diplomat from London and Africa, Revealed
When it scanned an undisclosed sum of money in two Metal
Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 35 kg each.

The consignment was abandoned Because the Contents was not
properly Declared by the consignee as "MONEY" rather it was
Declared as staff effect to avoid interrogation And Also the
Inability of the diplomat to pay for the Non Inspection
Charges Which Is About $ 270 USD Before bringing in
consignment into the U.S. and we refused to return the
consignment back where it came from since, We have already
received it.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will Contain more than $
5 Million to $ 10.5 Million each and the consignment is
still left in our Storage House here at the Chicago O Hare
International Airport USA till date. The details of the
consignment Including your name, your email address and the
official document from the United Nations office in Geneva
are tagged on the Metal Trunk boxes in your favor.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual
recipient of this consignment, I will advise you to Provide
your current Phone Number and Full Address to enable me
cross check if it corresponds With The address on the
official documents Including the Name of the nearest Airport
around your city.

PLEASE NOTE THAT this consignment is supposed to Have Been
returned to the United States Treasury Department as
unclaimed delivery due to the delays in the Concluding
clearance processes.

The unpaid sum of $270 revenue income is the Government
charges Which Can not be weaved or ignore and we do not Have
Any legal authority to deduct any money from your
consignment out before delivery to you. The U.S. Government
is expecting you to pay the above charge as you receive this
mail.

So in order words, I will advise you to send the required
details to me for quick processing and response. Once I
receive your information Including the receipt of the Sum
payment of $270 for the Non Inspection Charges, I can get
everything Concluded Within 3-6 hours upon your acceptance
and proceed to your address for delivery.

Please direct your telephone number is required so we can
reach you That for more information, I wait to hear from you
urgently if you are still alive.
