Telephone number +14406440094 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Howard Renee Woods" and using the email address howarrdwoodsjfknewyork@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Dear Consignee,

I am Howard Renee Woods Director Fraud & Money Laundering Department in John F. Kennedy International Airport NY. We are rounding up for the last Quarter of the auditing, all abandoned Consignments in US Airports are being transferred to our facilities here for inspection and confiscation. During our investigation, I discovered an abandoned shipment on your name which was transferred to our facility here in John F. Kennedy International Airport and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box. For over three years now that is why I got in contact with you.

The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money, rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by the Diplomatic Agent also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees.

On my assumption, the boxes will contain more than $6M and the consignment is still left in the storage house till today through a Courier Dispatch Service. The Consignment is a metal box with a weight of about 242LBS (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm). Effective capacity: 680 L.) Approximately.

The details of the consignment including your name and the official document from the United Nation office in London are tagged on the Metal Trunk box.

I want to use my good office to clear the consignment and deliver it to you. If you WILL ACCEPT MY CONDITION AND WOULD LIKE US TO TRANSACT THE DELIVERY FOR OUR JOINT BENEFIT, please provide your name, phone number, and full address to cross-check if it corresponds with the address on the official document, as well as the name of the nearest airport around you and other details. Please send the required information to me for onward delivery.

All communication must be held extremely confidential. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery. But it must be on the condition that you give me 30% of the amount contained in the boxes, and I must get assurance from you concerning my 30% before I will proceed.

I want us to transact this business and share the money since the shipper abandoned it and ran away. I will pay for the Non-inspection fee and arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, once I am through, I will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company to provide the security needs to your doorstep. Or I can bring it myself to avoid any more trouble. But I will share 70% with you and 30% with myself. But you have to assure me of my 30%. Do respond to me if you are interested in concluding this with me.

Looking forward to hearing from you
Best Regards,

Howard Renee Woods
My Telephone Is +14406440094
The email was sent from the email address "Howard Renee Woods <howarrdwoodsjf@netvigator.com>", with the Reply-to address "<howarrdwoodsjfknewyork@gmail.com>" and the subject "Dear Consignee From Howard Renee Woods".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
