This email was received into one of my personal email boxes and unlike most scams it actually was addressed to me, of course, that does not make it legitimate
This scam involves the scammer pretending to be a young woman whos family has been murdered and now she is the sole beneficiary to the family fortune.
She will offer you huge rewards for your help in retrieving these funds but this is where the scam comes in.
The help you will be asked for will be in teh form of paying endless fees, a barrister will most likely be involved who will confirm that this young lady has already paid many fees however this will be a lie, all of the people you will be introduced to will be the same scammer in an effort to get you to send him money.
Please dont fall for it, it's a scam
