"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!

Subject: Re: CAN WE WORK TOGETHER


I am surprised that you did not get my first mail to you. I am Narciso
Djedje. A South Africa Customs Inspection Agent in Tambo International
Airport South Africa.

During our Customs Inspection, I discovered a Trunk metal box on Transit to
United Arab Emirate (UAE) and it’s from a Nigerian police officer, Abba
Kyari, Who is currently having issues with the FBI and Nigerian drug
Agency. He left the box of consignment and flew away because of section 592
of South Africa Customs Law which he violated. Accordingly, the package
was scanned and the result indicates that the package contains cash valued
at Twenty-two million Two Hundred thousand United State currency and in
$100 bills all with official documents issued to that effect included in
the Box also.

Here are the link and YouTube videos for your clarification:

Moreover, the box has been held under our facility @New Agents Building
Jones Road Cargo Division Johannesburg as i noticed about his case with the
FBI which i don't know the outcome lately. I am writing to you once again
because the South African government will be confiscating the consignment
box or diverting the funds into a federal reserve bank because he has
abandoned the box and might spend his entire life in FBI Custody.

So I want to inquire from you, if you can handle this deal with me which I
believe will benefit us both as I intend to present you as the beneficiary
of the box and ensure its been released to you. So please get back to me if
you are interested because my plans towards these funds are as follows:
Invest my own share of the funds on Real Estates, Industries, Fisheries,
Transports and Hotels in Europe/ Asia or your preferred country.

Take note that this transaction is 100% legitimate and risk free. Feel free
to ask me any questions as I want you to receive the box of consignment and
we share the contents.

Thanks for honoring this invitation. Expecting your mail ASAP.



Narciso Djedje
