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.

Good day,
I am Mr. Phil Hodkinson, the Group Finance Director,
Treasury & Insight HBOS United Kingdom.
During our Bank's New Year Account Auditing, I
personally discovered a dormant account with a total
sum of $75,000,000.00 [SEVENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED
STATE DOLLARS]
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.
I observed that his 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
proper sharing, thereafter we jointly transfer the
remaining balance of $70,000,000.00 for great
investments.
If you are willing to cooperate in this project,
indicate your genuine interest for further details.
Call me now and Send Reply To:
mrphilhod(at)myway.com, mrphilhod@myway.com
Yours truly,
Phil Hodkinson
