"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:
- "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.

Attention Dear Email ID.

I am John Bill, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative
Service Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency
in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Atlanta,
Georgia. During our investigation, I discovered an
abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from Africa Nation
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 Trunk Boxes weighing
approximately 130kg.

The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not
properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was
declared as personal effect/classified document to either
avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by
the relevant authorities. The diplomat?s inability to pay
for Non Inspection fees among other things are the reason
why the consignment is delayed and abandoned. By my
assessment, each of the boxes contains $5,250,000.00
Million which is a total of $10,500.000.00 Million USD.
They are still left in the airport storage facility till
today. The Consignments like I said, are two metal trunk
boxes weighing about 65kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x
H156 x D73 (cm) effective capacity: 680 L) Approximately.
The details
of the consignment including your name and email on the
official document from the United Nations office in Africa
where the shipment was tagged as personal
effects/classified document is still available with us. As
it stands now, you have to reconfirm your full name, Phone
Number, and full address so I can cross-check and see if
it corresponds with the one in the official documents. It
is now left to you to decide if you still need the
consignment or allow us to repatriate it back to Africa
(place of origin) as we were instructed.

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, he could not secure a
valid non inspection document(s), etc. I am ready to
assist you in any way I can for you to get back these
packages provided you will also give me something out of
it (financial gratification). You can either come in
person, or you engage the services of a secure
shipping/delivery Company/agent that will provide the
necessary security that is required to deliver the
packages to your doorstep or the destination of your
choice. I need all the guarantees that I can get from you
before I can get involved in this project. The cost of the
yellow tag, And, a valid non inspection document(s) is
totaling $253.00. Only.

Best Regards,
John Bill.
Head Officer-in-Charge
Administrative Service Inspection Unit.
