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.

From Mr George Donerson
I am writing you from Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire. I work in a bank here and
there is the sum of $8.5M floating in a dormant account that belongs to a
late customer who died alongside his younger brother in the crash of
December, 2003. www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
Please contact me on the contact details below for more information.

I will like this money be transfered into your account as the next of kin of
the deceased customer because the money will automatically go into
government treasury at the end of this year. Reply this mail while I furnish
you on how this will work out.
Yours faithfully,
George Donerson
