"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!

to deliver one trunk box that has been sealed and closed so that nobody
will have any right to open the trunk box until it gets to your country
successfully because it is only me and you that know what is being
delivered to your door step and honestly speaking he is not aware of the
content of the box because the first time we tried sending the box to one
of our client and the first diplomat made away with the box and went to his
country with it due to the fact that he knew the content of the box and was
later apprehended in Brazil and please don't disclose to him that the box
contains cash until he delivers the box to your door step as you can see
that he knows that the papers covering the box are *HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT'S *for

with your consignment trunk box,Then your *PIN CODE NUMBER* will be made
available through your email address which you will use to open the box to
crosscheck the total amount of the *US$5.5M* inside the trunk box.

You should urgently contact the courier delivery company*,*Because he is
the one that will deliver your consignment in order for him to know that
you are the beneficiary of the consignment because *CBN* have handed the
trunk box over to his company for delivery to your address and urgently
contact him before he will lift the consignment from the John F.Kennedy
airport to your address and without you contacting him, He will not lift
the trunk box to your address.

So you should contact him at once to enable him to leave the airport and
