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.

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

• This email message is a next of kin scam.
• This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

Good morning to you
I decided to reach you directly and personally. Please permit me to
introduce myself, my name is Daniel. Coleman, heading Joint Global Head of
Equities Risk manager for UBS Investment Bank London office. I am
responsible for all risk and financial policies at the bank, as well after
considerations concerning a confidential matter. if you are in doubt of my
person, kindly visit UBS Investment bank Management profile link
(http://www.ibb.ubs.com/Meet_our_mngmt/dan_coleman.shtml) for confirmation
in the discharge of my duty, I stumbled on this domiciliary account that has
remained dormant for past three years with the total sum of eight million
four hundred and ninety thousand 8,490,000.00GBP Great British pound
sterling. i contacted the bank Management and we honorably send out
international workers for enquiries and discovered that the account holder
died in an accident, very sad news. I am writing you to kindly stand as the
next of kin as well family
relative of the account holder so that we can work together to carefully
remit the fund to you as the relative of the account holder.

I have made private enquiries and find out that the fund owner died together
with his wife and only son in Rome during a month of July and left no next
of kin in his account bio data, only person that knows about this
information because i am the Risk manager and this is the reason i am
solicited assistance from you to act as inheritance to the fund as a owner
since your last name (meaning your Surname) is same. i have certified my
conscience to compensate you adequately at the end of the transference. Also
i do need to inform you that there is practically no risk involved bank
account i guarantee this transaction under legitimate Arrangements that will
not breach the law by both parties. It is a simple process which will take a
short while if you are willing to maintain constant communications. If i
hear from you i will communicate you with more account detailed informative
that you mighty needed to achieve our objectives.

God Bless you and your families.

Kindly Regards
Daniel Coleman
For Joint Global of Equities Risk Manager UBS
