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.

Subject: Re: YOUR EMAIL REQUIRES URGENT AUTHENTICATION
Dear lucky winner,
I received your sink link approval by the law and spam recording and I wish to keep inform that your winning is 100% truth and this is the reason why I spend my time working towards that and because of creating a good relationship with you I vow to help you in paying this fee to the bank so that they will release the fund to be transfer into your bank account.
I dont like this delay and the more you expose your winning to people the more you get confuse towards your winning claim and remember I told you that if we received any mail telling about this same ref and your winning number that it will read to disqualification.
I m still waiting to hear from you ASAP,
Regards
Barrister Bruce Joseph Rodney.
