Le principe consiste à envoyer des lettres ou des e-mails qui prétendent au destinataire qu'il a gagné un prix dans une loterie à laquelle il n'a jamais participé.

On lui demande alors de retourner ses coordonnées bancaires afin que les fonds soient transférés par virement et que soient prélevés des frais de traitement de l'opération.
