"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 fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic delivery"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "from the desk of" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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)
- "await your urgent response" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "diplomatic delivery" ("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.

Subject: DELIVERY OF YOUR FUND BY DIPLOMATIC OPTION

FROM THE DESK OF

NATIONAL SECURITY/DIPLOMATIC WAREHOUSE BANJUL THE GAMBIA

DIPLOMATIC DELIVERY OF YOUR CONSIGNMENT

Attention,

This is to inform you that the arrangements have been concluded in
respect to direct shipment of your consignment to your country. I
choose to conclude shipment to ensure it is lifted before contacting
you. This process is the Airlifting of funds/consignment from one
country to another via a diplomatic means of delivery. I found out
that this consignment has been lying in our correspondent office in
overseas because you could not settle cost of fees for the release of
your consignment fund to you.

This is why I decided to use my position as the Shipment officer in
charge of this Organization to convey this consignment to your
Country. To enable you confirm when your consignment will arrive.

I believe you will compensate me well with a good remuneration when
you receive the consignment.

Note: I know the content of the trunk Box because I could see the
amount you are supposed to receive. This is the major reason I decided
to get involved. You must also know that this arrangement does not
involve any of the people you were dealing with in the past because
this consignment has been surrendered to the Government. Hence my
involvement, furthermore you will find the attached files of your
consignment box here to enable you to know that I have idea of your
transaction.

Thank you for your understanding and I await your urgent response or
phone call 002207723978. You can ask me any question relating to this
regard.

Sincerely,
George Smith Wilson.
Chief Shipment Office.
