Hi Fairuzalea,

Welcome to the forum, I'm happy to hear you had the forethought to do a Google search after receiving the email, unfortunately, many people don't, and just automatically think they have won

This is a very clever scam due to the fact that when someone types in Golda Bechal they will bring up the stories concerning her will. No trust has been set up to distribute money in a lottery... some money will be going to good causes and charities such as Great Ormond Street but no such trust has been established.
