1st October 2019 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 1st October 2019, telephone number +12024176226 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Patrick Walker using email address asi.unit@aol.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
Dear Beneficiary,

I am Mr. Patrick Walker, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service
Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in John F. Kennedy
International Airport New York. During our investigation, I discovered
an abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was
transferred from Newark Liberty International Airport to our facility
here in New York, 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 $4M which is total of
$8Million USD. They are still left in the airport storage facility
awaiting clearance.

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 United Nations' office in London
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, full address so I can cross-check and see if it
corresponds with the one on the official documents. It is now left to
you to decide if you still need the consignment or allow us repatriate
it back to UK (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 this
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 package to your
doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need all the guarantee
that I can get from you before I can get involved in this project.

Best Regards,

Mr. Patrick Walker.
