Welcome to Scamwarners and thanks for posting that.
Scammers often misuse the names of the deceased, but that's the first scam I've seen based on Alexander McQueen.
There is a firm of solicitors named P George & Co, who certainly aren't involved of course.
This isn't a money recovery scam, by the way. You'll probably find your post moved to "Advance Fee Fraud" shortly.
