"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "the consignment" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "trunk box" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)

This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Attn: Sir/Madam,

I am Mr.Dominique F.Clark,the Assistant Director Facility Inspection Unit,Stansted Airport Limited,

A forfeited consignment from a secured Shipping Company was brought to our

facility few days ago,during my routine checks at the Airport Facility Storage Vault, I discovered

an abandoned shipment in two metallic trunk boxes containing more than $2 Million to $2.5 Million

United States of American Dollars each When scanned.

The two Metal Trunk Boxes weighed approximately 25kg each. The consignment was abandoned

because the shippers were avoiding United Nations Inspection Agents,whose duty is to check all

consignments that arrives at the airport.Also,the Contents of the consignment was not properly

declared by the consignee as "MONEY" rather it was declared as personal effects.

I have to contact to know if you can partner and sponsor the normalization of the "Bill of Entry" as the

consignment will be shipped to your door step at your expense for our mutual sharing.You will help

invest my own share in a any lucrative business you may advise in your country.

1. Your Full Name:

2. Home phone & Cell Phone:
