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.

Dear friend,
I am very happy to inform you about my success in getting that fund transferred to a Swiss account. I did not forget your past effort to assist me despite the fact that it failed us somehow so I kept some amount for you in my own appreciation for your compensation. Now I want you to contact my secretary on the information below
NAME: Ms. Gloria BrightEMAIL: gloria_bright01@yahoo.frPHONE:+229 9315 8307
Contact him and ask him to send you the total sum of Four Hundred and fifty Thousand US Dollars in a certified international bank draft issued from UBS AG, Switzerland, which I have kept for your compensation.
Best regards,
Dr. Edu Laja
