Advance fee scam

An advance fee scam involves promising a person a significant share of a large sum of money or goods in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum or goods. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim or simply disappears.
