For Advance Fee Scam we have a term and definition in Frauds and Scams.

Any of innumerable schemes that lead the victim to believe that they will profit dramatically by engaging in some plan that requires that they pay, or invest, a fee up front. In many cases, the plan has some degree of illegality associated with it not enough to discourage most people from participating but just enough to make them reluctant to file a complaint with the police.
