"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!

Mrs. Mary konta
INSPECTION UNIT
Harts-field-Jackson Atlanta International Airport .

My Dear ,

I am Mrs. Mary konta Director Inspection Unit United Nations
Inspection Agent in Harts-field International Airport Atlanta Georgia
During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment from a
Diplomat from United Kingdom under ship forwarder was transferred from
JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta and when scanned it
revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box 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
effect to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent also the Diplomat
inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees. On my assumption, each of
the boxes will contain about $3 to $4M each and the consignment is
still left in storage house till today through a registered shipping
Company, Courier Dispatch Service Limited, a division of Tran guard
LTD.

The Consignment are two metal box which weighed about 110kg each
(Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680

the official document from United Nation office in London are tagged
on the Metal Trunk boxes. Please Provide your Phone Number, full
address, name of the nearest Airport around you and other details. You
can send the required details to me for onward delivery.

All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get
everything concluded within 3-6 hours upon your acceptance and proceed
to your address for delivery. But I must get assurance from you
concerning my 50% before I will proceed.

I want us to transact this business and share the money, since the
shippers have abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the Non
inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this
Airport to your address, once we are through I will deploy the
services of a secured shipping Company geared towards providing the
security it needs to your doorstep. Or I can bring it by myself to
avoid any more trouble. But I will share it 50% to you and 50% to me.
