Other clues:

The email is hosted in ".cc" - the Cocos islands.

The phone numbers are UK mobiles.

"lawyer.com" is a free email address hosted by Mail.com.

This is almost certainly an attempt at either Identity theft or Advance fee fraud.

With the former they will extract your bank details and personal information from you (so they can "pay" you!) and then use the information to raid your bank accounts and get other forms of credit in your name.

With the latter they will ask you for a "processing" fee of an indeterminate amount (could be 100s or 1000s, depends how desperate you sound).

Either way, bin it!

I've forwarded the letter to mail.com and asked them to disable the account. It's a drop in the ocean, but the thought that it inconveniences the little s**t makes it worth it.



(Added - if you are looking for, or are offered a job, as a matter of rule DO NOT SEND MONEY! And do not send ANY personal information until you have verified that the company is legitimate!)
