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.

From: Everest Izukwu <everestiz@yahoo.com>

Subject: Re: ATTEND TO RGENTLY.
I SENT YOU THE NAME OF MY SECTRETARY NELSON CHIOBA AND THE CLAIMS INSPECTORS NAME WILSON JALMET TO SEND THE MONEY WITH.
I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFICULTY TRYING TO LOCATE BANK WITH THE MONEYXFER FACILITY BUT ALL THE BANKS OPERATE ON WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER IN AFFILIATION WITH MONEYXFER. AND THE MTCN YOU GAVE ACCORDING TO THE BANK DOES NOT MEET THE NUMBER OF NUMBERS REQUIRED BY WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
IF YOU CAN SEND IT VIA MONEYGRAM MONEY TRANSFER OR WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER FOR MORE CONVINIENCY, YOU CAN SPLIT IT INTO TWO AND SEND IT, ONE TO NELSON CHIOBA AND THE OTHER WILSON JALMET WITH THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO YOU EARLIER.
IF YOU MUST SEND IT VIA MONEYXFER PLEASE MAKE SURE IT WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO GIVE YOU THERE EMAIL ADDRESS AS THEY MUST TAKE INSTRUCTION FROM ME WHILE BEEN MONITORED, MY NUMBER IS +234-8028690182 CALL ME WHENEVER YOU MAKE THE TRANSFER OR SEND ME YOUR NUMBER SO I CAN CALL YOU.
MR EVEREST.
I asked you for a name before sending it, you did'nbt offer one so it went in your name. now I will have to recall the money already sent and reissue it in a new name. For this to work and as you point out you do not have the time please give me their email addresses and tell me how much you wish me to pay each one of them on your behalf.
The moneyxfer number is not the same as the Western Union MTCN. Moneyxfer requires a login and contact via the website to obtain the full Western Union MTCN. It is very secure but you do have to follow procedures.
Please continue arrangements to disptach the check to us in Andalusia.

THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT WE HAVE CONCLUDED THE REQUIREMENTS OF MRS VALERIA.
I HAVE GONE TO THE CENTRAL BANK ABUJA THIS MORNING TO COLLECT THE MONEY WHICH YOU SENT BUT HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY DO PAY OUT THIS MONEY IF IT IS AFFILLIATED TO THE WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
THE MTCN THAT WAS SENT BY MONEYXFER AS I WAS TOLD WAS NOT ENOUGH TO RECIEVE THE MONEY BY WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER, THEY ONLY PAY THE MONEY IF THE MTCN IS ENOUGH TO RECIEVE THE MONEY BY WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
PLEASE INFORM THEM THAT THE RECIEPIENT OF THE MONEY IS TO RECIEVE IT BY WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER AND THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE NAME TO EITHER THE NAME OF MY SECRETARY NELSON CHIOBA OR THE NAME OF THE CLAIMS INSPECTOR WILSON JALMET, AS I WILL NOT HAVE THE TIME MOVING TO BANKS DUE TO WORK LOAD OF THE PAST THREE DAYS.
KINDLY DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE CHEQUE TO BE PREPARED AND SENT TO YOU.
MR EVEREST
