"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)
- "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.

Dear Owner
I am Mr. David Moyes, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service Inspe=
ction Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Hartsfield-Jackson Internati=
onal Airport Atlanta, Georgia. During our investigation, I discovered an ab=
andoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferr=
ed from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta, and when scanne=
d it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing a=
pproximately 110kg each.
The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declare=
d by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect/class=
ified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscat=
ion by the relevant authorities. The diplomat's inability to pay for Non In=
spection fees among other things are the reason why the consignment is dela=
yed and abandoned,by my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4M or=
more.
They are still left in the airport storage facility till today. The Consig=
nments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing about 65kg each (Inte=
rnal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective capacity: 680 L) Approximat=
ely.
The details of the consignment including your name and email on the officia=
l document from United Nations' office in London where the shipment was tag=
ged as personal effects/classified document is still available with us. As =
it stands now, you have to reconfirm your full name, Phone Number,full addr=
ess so I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the offi=
cial documents. It is now left to you to decide if you still need the consi=
gnment or allow us repatriate it back to UK (place of (origin) as we were i=
nstructed.
(REPLY TO THIS EMAIL : (mrdavidmoyes903@gmail.com)
As 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 yellow tag,h=
e could not secure a valid non inspection document(s), etc. I am ready to a=
ssist you in any way I can for you to get back this packages provided you w=
ill also give me something out of it (financial gratification)
You can either come in person, or you engage the services of a secure ship=
ping/delivery Company/agent that will provide the necessary security that i=
s required to deliver the package to your doorstep or the destination of yo=
ur choice,I need all the guarantee that I can get from you before I can get=
