"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)
- "a 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.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Subject: ATTN: YOUR SHIPMENT.

--
I am Dr. Jude Johnson, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service
Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Sawyer International
Airport Michigan, During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned
shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferred
from
JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Michigan, and when scanned it
revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 4 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing
approximately 180kg each of the boxes contains about $30M or more.They
are
still left in the airport storage facility till today.

The Consignments like I said are four metal trunk boxes weighing about
180kg
(Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective capacity: 680 L)
Approximately. The details of the consignment including your name and
email on the official document from United Nations' office in London
where
the shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified document is still
available with us. As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your full
name,
Phone Number, full address so I can cross-check and see if it
corresponds
with the one on the official documents. It is now left to you to decide
if
you still need the consignment or allow us repatriate it back to UK
(place
of origin) as we were instructed.

As I did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most
importantly because he gave a false declaration or he could not pay for
the
yellow tag or maybe he could not secure a valid non inspection
document(s), etc.
I am ready to assist you in any way I can for you to get back this
packages provided you will also give me something out of it (financial
gratification). You can either come in person, or you engage the
services
of a secure shipping/delivery Company/agent that will provide the
necessary security that is required to deliver the package to your
doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need all the guarantee
that
I can get from you before I can get involved in this project.

Best Regards,
Dr. Jude Johnson
