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: YOUR CASH-PAYMENT IS APPROVED
Dear Sir,
Please, be informed that your fund has been sent to a London security company through a diplomatic courier delivery service. This decision was taken in view of the incessant request by most financial regulatory agencies for various clearances and certificates. We sought and secured approval for a cash-payment in your favour from the Ministry of Finance.
To this end, we decided to package the fund in a consignment and shipped it to London which is safer for everybody. Therefore, you are expected to travel to London as soon as possible to meet with the diplomat in-charge of the consignment for the delivery. Contact the diplomat immediately you receive this letter via the following contact details;
Mr.: David Van Ekeson
Phone: +44 773 370 6654
Email: Dvanekeson@ymail.com
He will direct you accordingly on how to meet with him in London for the delivery of your consignment.
Sincerely,
Graham Gazidis.
