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: Gabriel Martin <martingab5050@yahoo.com.hk>
Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 23:05:48 +0800 (CST)
Subject: FROM MARTIN
Dear Friend,
I know this email will come to you as a big suprise moreso since you have not received any communication from me before now and I know this medium is not the best way to communicate a matter of this importance.
My name is Mr Martin Gabriel,and I was privileged to serve as the legal adviser and investment officer of my deceased client, who lost his life sometime ago. In the process of review of his bank financial reports it was discovered that he left the sum of 3.8M GBP INTESTATE.
Upon enquiry for his kins I discovered that you bear similar last names because of your names, hence my contacting you so that I can give you further briefing on my intention and how to go about the fascilitation and disbursement of the estate he left behind.
I will most appreciate your prompt response, as that would enable us to start something immediately.
Best Regards,
Martin Gabriel
