"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!

- "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)

Hello Good Friend

Your Abandoned Package For Delivery

I am Mr.Roland Perret, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities
(Operations, Maintenance, Transportation) here at the Louis Armstrong New
Orleans, Louisiana USA. During my recent WITHHELD PACKAGE routine check at
the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a
Diplomat from London and when i scanned it, it revealed an undisclosed sum
of money in a Metal Trunk Box. The consignment was abandoned because the
Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as
"MONEY" rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation
as well as, the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non
Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. The details of the consignment
including your name, your email address and the official documents from
the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this
consignment, I will advise you 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 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 concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, I
will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. So
in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise you
send the required details to my private email address for quick processing
and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box,
I can get everything concluded within 48 hours upon your acceptance and
proceed to your address for delivery.

Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact
you personally about this abandoned consignment because I want us to
transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me
since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States
Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately
the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States
Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be
delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more
trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will
appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me
via my private Email:(roland.perret504@foxmail.com) for further directives.

Thanks,

Roland Perret
