"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!

Asalaam Aliekum Brother!

I must acknowledge that you do not know me, but just to let you know, I got your contact details from a company directory at the Foreign Commercial
Service of your Embassy in Accra, Ghana and decided to email you.
I am Ibrahim Abdulaziz, Former Director of Inspection Unit of (GHANA AIRPORT COMPANY) at the Greater Accra field International Airport West Africa.
During one of my investigations I discovered an abandoned shipment of two Metallic Trunk Boxes that was transferred from your country's Airport back
to our Airport facility here in Accra Ghana. When the boxes were scanned, it revealed undisclosed Funds in Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately
46kg each. These consignments was abandoned because the content was not properly declared by the delivery shipping agent as Funds rather it was
declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by men of customs department.

I assumed that the boxes contains Funds amounting US$14 Million to $15.5 Million United States of American Dollars cash and the consignments are
still left in the Storage House till today. These Consignments/Two Metal Trunk Boxes with weight of about 46kg each (Internal Dimension: W 61 x H
156 x D73 (Cm). Effective capacity: 680 L) Approximately.

I need your cooperation with me to stand as the Beneficiary to enable you and I claim the two boxes, transact this business and share the funds
since the shipper has abandoned it and ran away. I will to partner with you. I need your partnership to complete this transaction because I am
former officer with Airport Company so I cannot be found to be associated with the consignment and hence I cannot call for its delivery to my chosen
place here but to return it to someone there. You should understand that if it is discovered that I have special interest in these boxes, it will be
seized by our head office and I may also risk being jail so, I need you to stand as the Beneficiary of the boxes.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE, THIS IS A CONFIRM DEAL THAT REQUIRED SEROUS ATTENTION AND CONFIDENTIAL CO-OPERATION FROM BOTH SIDE.

I am looking forward to positive response soon.

Yours faithfully,
Ibrahim Abdulaziz
