"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)
- "the diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "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.

Hello Good Friend

Your Abandoned Package For Delivery

I have very vital information to give to you, 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. James Whitaker Pecana, head of luggage/baggage storage
facilities (Operations, Maintenance, Transportation) here at
Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom. During my recent withheld
package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered
an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from the United States and
when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a black
briefcase and a metal trunk Box weighing approximately 459kg. The
consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment
was not properly declared by the consignee as "MONEY" rather it
was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also
the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United Kingdon Non
Inspection Charges which is â‚¬3,700USD. On my assumption the
consignment is still left in our Storage House here at Heathrow
Airport, London till date. The details of the consignment
including your name, your email address and the official
documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on
the Trunk.

Please note that, this consignment is supposed to have been
returned to the United Kingdom airport security as unclaimed
delivery. Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it
upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned
consignment is because I want us to transact this business and
share the money 70% for you and 30% for me since the consignment
has not yet been returned to the United Kingdom Airport
Securities after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately
the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United
Kingdom Non Inspection Fee of â‚¬3,700 and arrange for the
briefcases to be delivered to you or I can bring it by myself to
avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I
will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. please get
back to me via my private Email: (jwpecana_24@citromail.hu) for
further directives.

Thanks,

James W. Pecana
