"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:

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.

Officer Lary Mconnor
Head Officer-in-Charge
Administrative Service Inspection Unit,
Hot Springs Airport MONTANA.
USA

Dear owner ,

I am Lary Mconnor, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service Inspection Agency Hot Springs Airport located in Sanders County, Montana, United States. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from London, which was transferred from London Heath-row international Airport to JFK Airport in New York then to our facility here in Hot Springs International Airport,and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 110kg. The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee rather it was declared as personal effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by the relevant
authorities.

The diplomatâ€™s inability to present British Custom Clearance Certification Document to back up the consignment are the reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned and the Custom Clearance Certification can only be obtained from the British Customs Authority there in London where the shipment/boxes originated from .By my own assessment,each of the boxes contains about $4M or more.They are still left in the airport storage facility till today. The Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing about 65kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective capacity: 680 L) Approximately.

The details on the consignment are your full names,Address in and Phone number and the official document from London/United Kingdom where the shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified document and are with Airport Authority. As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your full name, Phone Number, full address so that I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the official documents and packages here. It is now left for you to decide if you still need the consignment/Boxes or allow us repatriate it back to London (place of origin) as we were
instructed.

I am ready to assist you in any way I can for you to get back this packages provided you will compensate me as in (financial gratification).I will deliver it to you myself.I need all the guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved in this project as i am even ready to make the delivery to you.Please Reply this email strictly at (aimeeclarissad@gmail.com) as i will prefare only e-mails or you text me on this PHONE NUMBER (214) 702-8381
