Lucky Me!

Was in my “in box” this evening:

I have very vital info to give to you, but first I must have your trust
before I review it to you because it may cause me my job,so I need
somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to you.

I am Mr. James Durward Gilliard, head of luggage/baggage storage
facilities (Operations,Maintenance,Transportation) here at the Albany
International Airport New York USA. During my recent withheld package
routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned
shipment from a Diplomatic Agent and when scanned it, it revealed an
undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately
110kg. The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the
consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as “MONEY” rather
it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the
inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection
Charges which is $2,950 USD. On my assumption the consignment is still
left in our Storage House here at the Albany International Airport New
York, U.S till date. The details of the consignment including your name,
your email address and the official documents from the United Nations
office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this
consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I advise you
provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable me
crosscheck if it corresponds with the address on the official documents
including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please note that
this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States
Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in
concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, So in order to
enable me crosscheck your details, I advise you send the required details
to my private email address for quick processing and response.

The Requested Information is to ensure that no mistake or error is made
and it should be forwarded in the manner stated below:

Your Full Name:.......
Your Home Address:.......
Name of Closest Airport:.......
Direct Telephone Number:.......
Position Held:.......
Country:.......

Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact
you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to
transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me
since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States
Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately
the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States
Non Inspection Fee of $2,950 dollars and arrange for the
box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid
any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.

Best Regards
Mr.James Durward Gilliard

Such a deal!

Wow! What could go wrong with that! And there's even a trunk box to store the documents in!

The sad part is there is actually someone out there that will fall for that line of nonsense. 1,000 wasted emails sent.......and then there's this one guy to make those 1,000 emails worthwhile.

More often than not it's a grandma on limited income that is taken advantage of. That is truly sad.

Seems that Xmas season is also spam/scam season. My spam box is as full as it has ever been.

He only wants 30% of the take. I would tell him to just pay the total fee and take 100%.

Classic!

This is a huge and ongoing scam against vulnerable folks especially the elderly. It ranges from the promises of money to romantic relationships. Seen it way too many times to count.

Sad and unfortunate, just hope folks don’t fall for these scams before it’s too late.
