"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!

Hello:Sir/Madam,

I am Mr. James Nelson the Assistant Director Inspection Unit / United
Nations Inspection Agency Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
USA.

During my recent routine check at the Airport Storage / vault on withheld
packages, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from London
and Africa, Revealed When it scanned an undisclosed sum of money in two
Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 35 kg each. The consignment was
abandoned Because the Contents was not properly Declared by the consignee
as "MONEY" rather it was Declared as staff effect to avoid interrogation
And Also the Inability of the diplomat to pay for International Consignment
Money Movement charge before bringing in consignment into the U.S. and we
refused to return the consignment back where it came from since, We have
already received it.

On my assumption, Your two consignment trunk boxes Contains the total sum
of Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
(US$15.5Million) and the consignment is still left in our Storage House
here at the Mid-land Taxes International Airport USA till date. The details
of the consignment Including your name, your email address and the official
document from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Metal
Trunk boxes in your favor. However, to enable me confirm if you are the
actual recipient of this consignment, I will advise you to 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 the 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 the Concluding clearance processes and it is the more reason why you
have to act fast now to claim your consignment before further action of the
US Government.

The unpaid International Consignment Money Movement charge is the
Government revenue income charges which Can not be waved or ignore and we
do not Have Any legal authority to deduct any money out from your
consignment before delivery to you,so note that you are in title to receive
your consignment with its exact content, and right now the U.S. Government
is expecting you to clear up the unpaid International Consignment Money
Movement charge as you receive this mail.

So in order words, I will advise you to send the required details to me for
quick processing and response. Once we receive your information Including
the payment receipt for the International Consignment Money Movement
Charges, I can get everything Concluded Within 3-6 hours upon the receipt
of your respond to our email.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive.

Mr. James Nelson
Assistance Inspection Director
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) USA.
