The "John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport Abandoned Shipment" Scam

"Dear Friend,

I am Mr. James Dee, Head Officer-in-Charge of Administrative Service Inspection Unit United Nations, during our investigations I discovered an abandoned shipment from a diplomat transferred from JF Kennedy Airport to our facility here in Atlanta.

The shipments was scanned and it revealed an undisclosed sum of cash in 2 metal trunk boxes weighing approximately 110kg each, by my assessment each of the boxes contains about $4M or more.

The shipments was abandoned because the content was not properly declared by the consignee as cash but as personal effect to avoid confiscation by the authorities.

The diplomat inability to pay for a non inspection fees yellow tags or secure a valid non inspection document(s),etc are the reason the shipments was abandoned due to a false declaration.

I am ready to assist you receive this trunk boxes or visit our office in person to claim this boxes provided if you will give me something out of it as a (financial gratification) your full names Address Telephone is needed to start the process for the release and delivery of the boxes if your interested on this.

Best Regards,
Mr. James Dee

Subject: Read Carefully, Your Urgent Response Is Needed

Greetings,

I am John McClarke, the Assistant Director Inspection Unit/United Nations Inspection Agent in John F. Kennedy International Airport Queens New York. During my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat and when scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 25kg. 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 about $3,800 USD. On my assumption,the box will contain more than $4 Million to $5 Million US dollars and the consignment box is still left in our Storage House here at John F. Kennedy International Airport Queens New York till date.

The details of the consignment including your name, your email address and the official document from the United Nations office are tagged on the Metal 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 want you to urgently send me

Your Full Name...
Full Address...
Phone Number ...

to enable me cross check 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, I will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise you send the required details to my private email address (mcclarkejohn-gmail.com) for quick processing and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient/rightful owner of the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.

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 in 70% to 30% ratio 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 pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee and arrange for the boxes to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble but the money will be shared 70% for you and 30% for me and you have to assure me of my 30% share. If i didn't reply your email immediately, just know that I am on inspection but you have to make sure you include your mobile number so that I can give you a call. I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive.

Briefly, I am Mr. Henry Martin, UN storage Facilities officer at JFK International Airport.

I am contacting you on this emergency notice in reference to an abandoned consignment with Tag#AK00781 which includes your email and other details on the Trunks.
For your information, the Trunk box has been abandoned by the Diplomat who was on transit to your location for no other reason than his inability to pay the ATL clearance fee, It's been several weeks now he abandoned this trunk with the authority without any indication of when he's likely to return for this clearance and the official duration for us to keep such consignment in our custody has already exceeded, Hence I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally to notify you about this abandoned consignment bearing your email details, probably we can work together to ensure smooth delivery of the consignment to your destination without any hitch.

At the moment, The U.S. Custom's Border / Protection is conducting a general clearance/evacuation on all abandoned consignments in our custody, therefore your prompt action prevents this consignment among the list of goods to be confiscated by the US government as unclaimed goods.

Note, for security reason and safe delivery to you as the authentic beneficiary of this said consignment, I implore you to kindly reconfirm your legal full names, your home / postal address, your mobile telephone number, your present occupation, and the nearest airport close to you.

Be reminded that all communication must be held extremely confidential to ensure successful delivery to you.
You can call me or send an SMS to confirmation of this information to my below phone #.
