Consumers have reported receiving various forms of fictitious correspondence via email, Google Chat, and the U.S. Postal Service related to up-front fee scams involving fictitious inheritance or beneficiary payouts.

Scam correspondence may include the names of other governmental agencies who are purportedly involved in the fake transaction.
