Identity Theft Settlement Advance Fee Scam Being Sent by Online Scammers

I have also received the same email with names changed etc
The people that do this think people are stupid enough to believe that our Identity has been used for fraudulent activity etc
But they dont even spell my name correctly or use different suburb etc
I'm not a genius but I sure as h**l know who I am & how I spell my name

Thats funny because I have received the same letter 3 days ago. Was the contact details for a firm Wyatt & Blacklock Law Chambers contact was angus.b@wandbchambersthe

I received the same letter but scammers names are different. How can we stop these people. I rang the Court in Switzerland to let them know of what was happening.

I just received this today - somehow they had an old address of mine that I had once rented - so they are getting smarter!

Notification Subject: Court Notice "Identity Theft Settlement"
Notification Type: Settlement Fund Entry {Pre-Approval No. 1314}
We regret to inform you that you have been a victim of internet fraud and/or identity theft. See following case details:
Case Number: 1009-2171-9293-22SN on infamous internet fraudsters, Kevin Amuche, 32 and Henrik Bialek, 40, was tried and closed at the District Court of Basel-Stadt (Strafgericht des Kantons Basel-Stadt) as of last year after numerous rejected extradition appeals. They were apprehended at EuroAirport, Basel while fleeing Switzerland federal authorities in an unrelated fraud case. The case was closed based upon the following settlement terms; I. Court-ordered restitution - select offshore bank accounts recovered from the defendants shall be converted into settlement funds to be remitted to eligible affected victims, II. To be paid in full before end of sentence date.
The aforementioned defendants and their group of co-offenders used hundreds of aliases to mask their original identities over the years, which is why you may not be familiar with the real names of the defendants. If you are receiving a notification but do not recollect a scam incident, you were certainly a victim of identity theft which generally occurs without your consent. Records suggest that you have been a victim because your contact details and personal information were found on several computer devices belonging to the defendants, alongside corresponding expense, service and property receipts acquired using your credentials. Following court orders, this makes you eligible for compensation in the amount of £521,911.00 for reimbursements of false acquisitions, compensation for potential impact on your credit, and any additional verifiable claims you may make will be considered.
During investigation, authorities revealed that the pair operated on an international scale victimizing thousands of individuals and companies from several countries with the bulk of victims residing in the United Kingdom, North America and Australia. They hid a majority of their acquisitions in offshore Swiss bank accounts and properties. Based on that revelation, the Switzerland government ordered all court proceedings be held within Switzerland where the defendants were apprehended to maintain unitary judgment and integrity in international relations. Due to the diverse locations of the victims, all victims were represented by a local court-appointed public representative.
To submit an entry into the settlement fund, request verification form and return to the clerk’s office by email or fax. You will immediately be connected with your court-appointed legal representative who will give you further guidance through the short process. Their services are entirely free of charge until you have received your settlement in full, after which you will be charged on contingency.
