"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!

We discovered useful materials under the Ocean, which includes boxes belonging to dead passengers of the aircraft that crashed in January 2016 at Gulf of Mexico Caribbean Sea. Each of the two boxes contain Six Million Dollars, which we hid behind Caribbean Sea for more than one year. We cannot ship the boxes in our names because of our naval reputation. If you have the credibility to handle the boxes then forward your complete information for delivery schedule, also bear in mind that 30% of the total content will be yours at successful end of this transaction. Myself and my Colleague will visit you as soon as the boxes are confirmed in your hands. I await your reply to determine the necessary steps to magnificent success, we are currently deployed but would get a leave immediately when the box arrives at your destination.
