The "Sophia Dawsono" Advance Fee Scams Being Sent by Online Scammers

The fake "Sophia Dawsono" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information. 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.

For your information,

You are the beneficiary to my deceased client who died in-estate to the bequest of the sum of £15,500,000.00 GBP.

All I need is for you to accept so that we can obtain the paper work from the probate division which is required for you to claim the funds from the holding bank. Please reply for more details. Please send your reply to my official email address: mrsdawson@queensqchambers.com

Thanks,

Sophia Dawson
