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.

Fraud email example:
From: "mr.harrison_for@terra.es" <mr.harrison_for@terra.es>

Subject: Try to contact me directly immediately (+44 70111 30195)
I apologized for using this medium to reach you for a transaction of this magnitude,
Through some discreet search from my local chambers of commerce and having obtained your contact from the internet. I contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the Estate, since there is no written will.
Presently in my bank here in the United Kingdom we have an estate, which has remained unclaimed since 2004. And the estate will be converted to UNCLAIMED
DEPOSIT and therefore forfeited if nobody comes forward to lay claim to the
Deposit before the end of this financial quarter, as is the practice and also
Indicated in the European Union banking guidelines.
I wish to notify you of a Deal between You and me to put in claims for payment with your name as the beneficiary to the total sum of US$9,500,000.00 (nine million, Five Hundred Thousand) in the intent of the deceased (name now withheld since this is our second letter to you).
I contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present
You as the beneficiary to the inheritance since there is no written will.
The entire document will be processed in your acceptance of this
Deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance, your
Current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file
Necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this
Sum of money in your favor.
Yours sincerely
Mr. Harrison Ford
HSBC BANK PLC.
