"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!

Subject: YOUR ATM MASTER DELIVERY

ATTENTION KINDLY REPLY TO THIS EMAIL FOR YOUR ATM MASTER CARD DELIVERY, ( edwarderick09@gmail.com )

I am Mr Edward Erick Head of Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Chicago Midway International Airport. During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from Federal Republic of Nigeria which was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport. To our facility here in Chicago, and when scanned it revealed an ATM MASTER CARD. The package was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal Effect/classified package to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities.The diplomat's inability to pay for Non International fund/Inspection fees among other things are the reason why the package is delayed and abandoned. By my assessment, ATM CARD contains about $5.5M. The package is still left in the airport storage facility till today. The package like I said the details including your email on the official documentation from United Nations' office in Nigeria the shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified package is still available with us.

As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your information so I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the official documentations.

It is now left to you to decide if you still need the ATM MASTER CARD delivered or allow us repatriate it back to Nigeria (place of origin) as we were instructed. Like i did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most importantly because he gave a false declaration, he could not pay for the Non International fund/Inspection fees among other things, 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 take care of the needed documents, and 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 corporation that I can get from you before I can get in this project.

Sincerely,
Edward Erick,
