"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:
- "clearance permit" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "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)
- "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)
- "million dollars" (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)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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.

Subject: Abandoned Package.

I am Mr. David Perry Moyes, Head of Inspection Unit United Nations office.
inspection Agency in Harts field Jackson International Airport Atlanta, GA.
During our investigation, we discovered an abandoned shipment through a
Diplomat from the United Kingdom which was transferred from JF Kennedy
Airport. To our facility here in Atlanta, and when scanned it revealed an
undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Consignment Packages weighing
approximately 110kg each. The consignment was abandoned because the Content
was not properly declared by the consignee

Right now, you need the consignment clearance permit or allow us to
repatriate it back to the UK (place of origin) as we were instructed. Like
I did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most importantly
because he gave a false declaration, you have to get back these packages
provided you will also give me something out of it (financial
gratification). I hereby ask you to forward your full name, full address
and your mobile phone number where the Eight million dollars
($8,000,000.00) will be delivered.

So, I urge you to take this email serious and reply so that we can proceed
further. Please kindly contact me for more enquiry with this line +1 (470)
288 4778.

I want you to know, this transaction is 100% legal and safe and please keep
this conversation safe to yourself.

I await your reply.

Best Regards,
Mr. David Perry Moyes
