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.

FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT. ECO-BANK.
LOME-TOGO. B.P.-37-9 . 49
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Bello Victor, Director and Chief of Accountant for the bills and
credits in the Foreign Remittance Department section of ECO-BANK Lome-Togo
in West Africa. I got your contact through an international web directory
while I was searching for a reliable and trustwordthy person who can not
betray me, because I have been praying to my God to direct me to the
rightful person to entrust this fund to. There was one of our client Ahmed
Wasfy Nehad but he died on 1999 October inDIRECTOR a plane crash which also
claimed the life of his only child, Who untill death was the next of kin to
the fathers money with ECO-BANK. It is only me that knows his bank
information, and I am the only director of the Banque who is aware that this
client and his son (next of kin) were dead. Hit to the web site:
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm
He left at about (US$5 Million) FIVE MILLION U. S. A. DOLLARS in his
account. At this juncture I want to transfer this US$5 million into the
account you have nominated. I will do the paper work here claiming that you
are the next of kin to this client, and that you want to transfer the sum
into your account abroad. The service of an Attorney will be need to seal
everything and to change the data and information in his file so as to
enable us transfer it swiftly. If we employ the service of a highly
Accredited Lawyer that means it will take us only 5 working days to transfer
the money into your account. He will arrange for the affidavit of support
from Ministry of Justice claiming that you are the right beneficiary of this
fund. Do send your Bank particulars and your personal phone number
immediately. I and my colleague will give you 40% of the total sum of the
US$ 5million for assisting us. The transaction is 100% risk free. Please
kindly get back to me with this, Email: bellovictor1@yahoo.com
Best Regerd,
Mr Bello Victor.
