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.

Thank you for your really fine response.
Not long ago, I was diagnosed as having a little tendency to be depressed, probably caused by a terrible situation at work a year ago. As such I just request that you are genuine in all your dealings with me.
Please do understand that I had said before that I have resolved to proceed with this wonderful plan. All I am needing now is please for you to supply some methodical evidence of how it will work.
Also I have been thinking: what about German taxes? Do they concern me?
Please do correspond back. I am expecting to read something gracious from you.
best regards,
Hr. Lamar Bierlich
Note that I tried to call the phone number supplied but it was unobtainable. Sorry.
