This is a common scam, regardless of the airport, country, location, whatever. The scammer(s) will inform you that a package containing alot of money (the bait) is waiting for your collection at the airport. You are required to reply or contact another person (custom, courier, etc) to retrieve this package (the anticipation). Then you will be asked to pay for a fee to "release" the package, normally just a few hundred bucks to couple of thousands depending on the scammer. If you bite the bait and motivated to proceed due to high expectation that this is for "real", you will end up paying the "fees" for an empty package. There is no free lunch.

Nice photos and bold words. Whatever the crap they put on the email, it is still a scam.

What kinda stupid deal is this, pay me $49 and I will give you $7,000 everyday, up to $1,5million.

The Bait: $1.5million dollars which is FAKE.

What they want is just the $49. If there are 1,000 fools on this planet, they will make $49,000 simply by sending out this stupid email.

Quote:

"After the payment of $49.00 you will start receiving your money every day $7000.00 through money gram and Western Union $7000.00 in western union office until the full payment of $1.5m is completed. So what you will be receiving per day is $14,000.00..."

This 419 scam uses fake Ecobank name. If you landed on this page... bingo, if you received something like below, it is a scam mail.

All Caps, that is a rude, scammer.

Woah, its $950k, I am going to pee in my pants... lol

The way the email content is planned is to exploit people who are greedy or need cash urgently.

What is more attractive than someone saying "Hey, I have an ATM or Credit Card filled with free credits or money for you".

There is no free lunch.

1) This offer is a scam.

2) It is illegal to "impersonate" the next of kin.

Some people are still blinded by their greed, and always hold on to their hope that "this wonderful deal is going to be real." There is no free lunch, and if you are inexperienced (i.e. e.g., not a 419 scam baiter), never reply and "see how it goes".These scammers will try to talk you into believing that its "real", and if you don't believe it, then cancel it - all sorta rubbish when the whole story is FAKE.

A scammer impersonating as a consultant working with the Swiss Bank claims that he has found $232million during one of his audit.

So he wrote,"Sometimes a person will open a bank account, deposit money, and then disappear into the tin (thin) air. Banks are not always able to find out what has become of these silent customers, or to know whether they should follow up on requests from people who claim to be heirs to the accounts..."

He is asking for "someone" to help transfer out the money "illegally". This mail is full of lies and he is not who he claims to be.

Assuming that this is real, whatever he asked you to do is illegal. So when you lose money in this scam, it is hard for you to report to the authorities/police for "being scammed while trying to help someone do something illegal."

Its like telling the police "SIR, I was trying to impersonate a Next-of-Kin/Son of some dead rich men to STEAL $232million from the bank, and I lost $25,000 of fake legal fees to this another impostor claiming to be from the bank itself....". Ouch!

Oh!? A scammer complaining about another scammer? Its tough. Don't bite the bait and become another scammer. 

This whole scam boils down to this statement:

This is absolutely rubbish. Sometimes you just wish scammers go to hell a million times. Move on unless you have interest in reading the full attachment. If you want to hear about stories about who and what gang is doing this and that, go and try other anti-scam sites. We are not interested if they missed their breakfast this morning, all we know is scammers like this are going to hell whichever group they belong to.

And what are the reasons for this "$10.7million?

Bags of balls. I can only remember that I dream of throwing a 419 scammer out of my window from my office at the 66th floor.
