"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!

Your Abandoned Package For Delivery

I have very vital information, but first I must have your trust before I
review it to you because it may cause me my job, so I need somebody that I can
trust for me to be able to review the secret to you.

I am Mr. Kevin Bryner, Chief Inspection Agent- United Nations Inspection Unit
at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, working hand in hand with
Department of Homeland Security and U.S Customs and Border Protection. During
our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from
Africa and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a metal
trunk box weighing approximately 25kg each. The consignment was abandoned
because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather
it was declared as film materials to avoid diversion by the shipping agent and
also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, each of the boxes will contain about $7Million to $8Million
each and the consignment is still left in the storage house till today, but as
the year is coming to and end you most act fast. The consignment are two metal
boxes with weight of about 25kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73
(cm). Effective capacity: 110 LBS.). Approximately, the details of the
consignment including your name and address, the official document from United
Nation office are tagged on the Metal Trunk boxes.

Provide your name, phone number and full home address, to cross check if it
corresponds with the name and address on the consignment including the name of
nearest airport around your city and other details. You can send the required
details to me by email for onward delivery. All communication must be held
extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your
acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery if you assure me of sharing
the content 30% for me / 70% with you on my arrival to your house.

I want to transact this business with you and share the money, since the
shipper has abandoned it and disappeared because of the fear of being arrested
by the authorities. I will pay for the Non inspection fee and arrange for the
boxes to be moved out of this airport to your address by myself. But I will
share it 30%/70% with you. I assure you that this is legal and 100% risk free.

Mr. Kevin Bryner
INSPECTION UNIT
