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: FUND TRANSFER:You have been dealing with the wrong offices.
Hello,
My Name is Mrs Farida Waziri the new Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission chairperson in Nigeria. I understand you are expecting your
delayed fund to be wired to your bank account, but some top government
officials and bank partners will not tell you the truth about the
whereabouts of your fund and all they are doing is to tell you to pay
outrageous fees which you refused to come up with, but I will not do that
based on my conscience and that is why I have contacted you to let you know
the truth because i know you have gone far in trying to get this fund and
must have paid some amounts of monies to persons you are not supposed to
give out a dime to.
I will be ready to help you get your fund but you have to help me keep it a
secret to enable me help in delivering your fund as the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission principal officer.
You better believe me or forget contacting me again but i know that they
will never tell you the truth because they are all thieving criminals. Get
back to me and i will tell you the possible way to get your fund delivered
to you without the consent of anyone because i know God will reward me after
all. I could be reached via my private email box:
mrsfarida_waziri@yahoo.co.uk
I expect your prompt response.
Regards.
Mrs Farida Waziri
chairperson,
EFCC.
