"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:
- "fiduciary agent" (real lotteries do not use a "claim agent" / "fiduciary agent")
- "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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: ABOUT YOUR LONG ABANDONED CONSIGNMENTS.

Attn: Sir/Madam

My name is Mr.Robert Kimberly,i am an Inspection Agent attached with
Hartsfieldâ€“Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta Georgia.In the
course of our official inspections at the customs storage ware house, i
discovered an abandoned shipment via UK by a Diplomat. when i personally
scanned it, our cash-track machine detected that the content of the
Consignments are cash,it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in Metallic
Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 45kg each. On my assumption, each of the
2 boxes will contain more than $5M or above in each.

On further investigation, i discovered that the consignment was abandoned
due to wrong declaration of the content, also the Diplomats inability to
pay for Non Inspection/Yellow Tag Fees and other required documents because
he did not know the content of the boxes.

I will arrange for the boxes to be released by the customs with your able
assistance where necessary and delivery will be effected upon further
arrangements by both parties for consignments to be moved out of this
Airport to your address, once we are through I will deploy the services of
a secured couriers section geared to provide the security it needs to your
doorstep.

Now i want to strike a deal with you, in your acceptance i will proceed on
this. I have the capacity to secure the release of your consignment with my
status as a Fiduciary Agent with your cooperation and assistance. You will
compensate me as soon as the consignments are been delivered to your
designated address.

If you are not in agreement with this proposal, please disregard it. But if
you can meet with my condition, then we have a deal. I can get everything
concluded within 24 to 48 hours and proceed to your address for delivery
upon your acceptance. Write me on this email:( robert.kimberly69@gmail.com)if
you accepts to work with me.Send me your cell phone number and your address
and your full name.

You can as well call me on this number (+1) 561 -240 -3412, if you wish to
speak with me but if you call and could not reach me on phone note that i
am on the field for inspection, So leave your information so that i can
reach you when i am back in the office.

Signed,

Mr. Robert Kimberly
Director Of Operations,Inspection Unit
Hartsfieldâ€“Jackson Atlanta International Airport,U.S.A.
