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.

Hello Sir!
I am Mr. Collins Emeka of the City Exchange Finance and Securities Services, London. I seek your assistance in clearing a Treasure Box containing a sum of Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, which has been dormant in our vaults in the last Six years!
The said box was deposited by a foreign customer from Germany (Mr. Andreas Schranner) who unfortunately was one of the victims of the AF4590 German Concorde plane that crashed on Monday, 31, July 2000, with every member of his family.
He has lost touch with us. After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir]. Hence I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5years.
Now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased. Going by the usual statutory rules governing our operation, the box shall be handed over to the relevant government authorities as an unclaimed deposit within the next two months. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,
We shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer or delivery to your country. I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. Details shall be made available to you as soon as I hear from you, please include your telephone numbers on you reply to my private email: (collinsemeka82@yahoo.co.uk)
Thanks & God Bless!
Regards,
Collins Emeka
