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: CONTACT MY ACCOUNT OFFICER
My Dear,
This is to thank you for your effort. I understand that your hands were tied
due to one reason or the other Not to worry.
I have succeeded; the money has been transferred into the account provided
by a newly found friend of mine in Australia. I want to compensate you for
your past assistance and commitments, I have dropped an International
Certified Bank Draft of $1,200.000.00 for you.
I am in London with my family presently, I do intend to establish some
business here, and possibly buy some properties and I will still want to
invest in your country too.
I am compensating you because I received a call from my pastor who was
praying for me during the transaction, he said I should compensate you for
your past effort.
Contact my account officer with Diamond Bank Plc, Mr. Anekwe Hillary, on
this E-mail (anekwehillary@yahoo.fr), forward my mail to him, then ask him
to send the bank draft to you.
Take good care of your self.
Yours in service,
Dr. William Morgan
