"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!

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.

Hi,

I am David william Director Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agent in O'Hare International Airport.During our investigation, I
discovered An abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom underiship forwarder which was transferred from JF Kennedy
Airport to our facility here in Chicago 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 more that $6M or above in each and the consignment is still left in storage house till
today through a registered shipping Company, The Consignment are two metal box with weight of about 110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x
H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.)Approximately.

The details of the consignment including your name the official document from United Nation office in London are tagged on the Metal
Trunk box.If you want us to transact the delivery for mutual benefit, you should provide your Phone Number, full address, to cross check if
it corresponds with the address on the official document including the name of nearest Airport around you and other details. You should send
the required details to me for onward delivery.

All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours upon your acceptance and
proceed to your address for delivery. But it must be on the condition that you will give me 50% of the amount contained in the boxes and 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
shipper 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 to provide 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. But you have to assure me of my 50%. do respond to me through my direct
