The fake "Scotland Yard Police" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it.

An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.
