"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)
- "the 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.

Attn: Sir/Madam

My name is Mr.Alex White,i am the Director
Inspection Unit, United Nations Inspection Agent. We are currently in
Boston Logan International Airport, Boston, United States for official
inspection while i discovered an abandoned shipment from UK via Diplomat
with your name/email tagged on it, when i personally scanned it, it
revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metallic Trunk Boxes weighing
approximately 65kg each. On my assumption, each of the 3 boxes will
contain more than $5M or above in each.

On further investigation,
i discovered that the consignment was abandoned due to wrong
declaration of the content, also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non
Inspection Fees, because he did not know the content of the boxes.

I
will 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.

Now i want to strike a deal with you, in your
acceptance i will proceed on this. I have the capacity to secure the
release of your consignment with my status as an United
Nations\Inspection Agent. You will give me 10% of the amount in the
consignment and you take the remaining 90% when we cleared it,

If
you are not in agreement with this proposal, please disregard it. But
if you can meet with my condition, then we have a deal. I can get
everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours and proceed to your address
for delivery upon your acceptance. Write me on this email:
mralex_white_uninspectionunit@hotmail.com if you accepts to work with
me.Send me your cell phone number and your address and your full name.

You
can as well call me on this number (+1) 617-475-0973 if you wish to
speak with me but if you call and could not reach me on phone note that i
am on the field for inspection, So leave your information so that i can
reach you when i am back in the office.

Signed,
Mr.Alex White
Director Inspection Unit
United Nations Inspection Agent.
