"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:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
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)
- "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 boxes" (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)
- "a diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: your cash consignment box at JF KENNEDY international airport NEW YORK USA1

MR GRANT WATSON
UNITED NATION INSPECTION AGENCY
HARTS FIELD-JACKSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
NEW YORK CITY
I am GRANT WATSON Inspection Agency in JFK
International Airport NEW YORK. During our investigation, I
discovered an abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from FEDERAL
REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA which was transferred from Murtala International
Airport. To our facility here in NEW YORK, and when scanned it revealed
an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes. The consignment
was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the
consignee as money rather it was declared as personal
Effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping
Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities.
The diplomat's inability to pay for Non Inspection fees among other
things are the reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned. By
my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4M or more. They are
still left in the airport storage facility till today. The
Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes, the details of the
consignment including your name and email on the official document
from United Nations' office in NIGERIA where the shipment was tagged
as personal effects/classified document is still available with us. As
it stands now, you have to reconfirm your Full name, Phone Number,
full address so I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the
one on the official documents.
It is now left to you to decide if you are the beneficiary and still
need the consignment or allow us repatriate it back to NIGERIA (place
of origin) as we were instructed. Like I did say again, the shipper
abandoned it and ran away most importantly 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. I am ready to assist you in
any way I can for you to get back this packages if only you are
willing to work with me with trust. You can either come in person, or
you engage the services of a secure shipping/delivery Company/agent
that will provide the necessary security. That is required to deliver
the package to your doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need
the entire guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved
in this project.
Best Regards,
MR GRANT WATSON
INSPECTION OFFICER.
