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: From: Phil Hodkinson
From: Phil HodkinsonGroup Finance Director,Treasury & Insight.HBOS United Kingdom.
Good day,
I am Mr. Phil Hodkinson, the Group Finance Director, Treasury & Insight HBOS United Kingdom. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of $75,000,000.00 [SEVENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS] during our Bank's Annual Year Account Auditing.
The owner of this dormant account died on 4th Jan 2002. Since the death of the deceased, nobody has operated in this account till date. Moreover, this account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it. Definitely, this fund will be confiscated by our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS if it remains dormant for a period of [6] years without any claims.
In this regard, I earnestly need your full cooperation in transferring this dormant fund out of our bank to avoid confiscating this fund. I will split the transfer into two 2 stages for easy and smooth transfer.
First, I will transfer $5,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will nominate, upon a successful transfer without any disappointment from your side; I will then fly to meet you in your home destination for sharing, thereafter we jointly transfer the remaining balance of $70,000,000.00 for magnitude investments.
If you are willing to cooperate in this project, Call me for more details.
PRIVATE E-MAIL: philhodkinsonprivate@myway.com
Yours truly,Phil HodkinsonOffice: +44 702 407 7880 Mobile: +44 701 114 0040
