Dr Peter Wallace of St Pancras Hospital, London

This scam mail is not from a medical doctor, but from a scammer who is pretending to be a doctor. The telephone number given at the end of the mail is not the telephone number of St Pancras Hospital, London; it is a +44 70 UK Redirect Number - it will redirect telephone calls to the scammer's own mobile/cell phone in his own country.

This email has been sent through a suspected proxy server, which may be hiding the country location of the scammer - but it is very unlikely that he is writing from the UK, as the email displays a total ignorance about what would really happen if this situation arose in the UK.

It is a scam, and neither the Australian gentleman, nor the £10 million mentioned actually exists. The deceased man, and his money, have been invented.

The scammer or an accomplice scammer will also invent some type of fees to be paid before the non-existent money can be shared. But as that money does not exist, nothing will be shared, and the fees will not be reimbursed as promised. The scammer intends to keep all money sent to him. And has nothing to share in return.

When I read the mail it really looks suspicious because I think it is standard procedure for hospital staff to look into the personal belongings of the patient to inform his family members. This is dangerous for everyone who are likely to believe the letter. The doctor's reputation could also be affected by this scam. Indiana Heart Physicians

Welcome to Scamwarners.
People need to be aware of all scams, not just this one. Sometimes scammers use the names of real people, but I doubt this is the case here. It's easier for a scammer to invent a doctor than find the name of a real one at a particular hospital.
