This email was not sent from the UK; it was sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.206.15.25 - Ibadan, Nigeria.

The telephone numbers, like all telephone numbers which begin +4470, are not normal UK numbers; they are 'redirect' numbers, which redirect all calls to a mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. In this case, they will redirect calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.

The solicitor/attorney is also fake, and is part of the scam.
