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.

GREETINGS,
I am Mr Tom Moosa the manager of Auditing and Accounting department of a prime bank in South Africa. In my department, i discovered an abandoned sum of US$36 Million dollars (thirty six million dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family and son in-law in a Motor accident.
I need someone with a foreign account to be able to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to claim this money. Should you be willing to complete this transaction, send to me your private telephone number for easy and effective communication and location. As soon as the transfer is concluded you are entitled to 25% of the total fund.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you more details on this transaction
trusting to hear from you
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Tom Moosa.
