"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!

Good day!

I am contacting you regarding a special cargo that has been abandoned here at
our warehouse In Washington, D.C. International Airport for over a period of 2
years and when scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in it. From my
findings, the cargo originated from Benin Republic and the content was not
declared as money by the consignor in order to avoid diversion by the shipping
agent. So after our discovering we decided to break the box and we realize that
the box contained $8.5Million USD dollars. And we also found out that the box
also contained one certificate which is LEGALITY CERTIFICATE. Please I want you
to text me message so that I can show you everything
