Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

- Dear Friend. I am Mr Abdullah Rahman the manager of bill and exchange department of banque atlantique du burkina. I saw your contacts through a global search directory, after much consideration I decided to write you since I cannot be able to see you face to face at first. Please I did not mean to embarrass you with my business proposal but I seriously need your assistance to receive the sum of u.s$12.500, 000 m dollars (twelve million five hundred thousand united states dollars). Into your account, we discovered this fund in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on Tuesday, 25th July, 2000, in a plane crash. I have made all the necessary arrangement for successful transfer of this fund into your account without any problem I will give you full detail on how this process will be done. It is 100% risk free. Thanks. Abdullah Rahman.
