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: Dear,
Dear,
I know you might be skeptical receiving this email (as we have not known
each
other). There is however no reason to be apprehensive as all I request is
for
your co-operation to have the sum of US$15,500,000.00 transfered out of my
bank
(Eco Bank, Benin ).
Everything regarding the transaction is already perfected, so (if you are
interested) you should please email me with the following information:
1. Full Names
2. Address (physical)
3. Telephone numbers and fax (if applicable)
So that we can reach an agreement and kick-start the transaction.
Should it be that you are not interested in this, please just disregard my
email and never let anyone know about it.
Yours,
