"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!

Hello Good Friend,

Re: 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 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. Larry Dallars, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities
(Operations,Maintenance, Transportation) here at the Oakland International
Airport USA. During my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport
Storage Vault, 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 110kg. The consignment was abandoned
because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the
consignee as â€œMONEYâ€ rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid
interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United
States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my assumption the
consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Oakland
International Airport 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 box.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this
consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise
you provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable me cross
check if it corresponds with the address on the official documents
including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please note that
this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States
Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding
the clearance processes so as a result of this, I will not be able to
receive your details on my official email account. So in order to enable me
to cross check your details, I will advise you to send the required details
to my private email address for quick processing and response. Once I
confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get everything
concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address
for 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 States Treasury
Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately the
confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States Non
Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be delivered to
your doorstep 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 it if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me
via my private Email (larrydallars1@gmail.com) for further directives: You
can call me on my telephone number and drop a message at (707) 238-0309

Thank you.
Mr. Larry Dallars
