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.

Hello,
I write asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds which we want
to keep under your supervision.
The Funds totaling Twenty Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. dollars
have been derived over time from a project awarded a foreign firm by my
Department. I work with National Petroleum Corporation here in
the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I propose 15% percent for you, while we also propose that we receive
75% percent and 10% percent be earmarked for purposes of taxation in
your country and mine.
I am available on my email: pauloyem555@myway.com, please send your
telephone and fax numbers for more details upon your acceptance.
Regards,
Mr. Paul Oyem.
