Although the scammer will be pleased if other people respond to it too, this scam is primarily aimed at people who are either:

- already expecting money to be transfered to them; or

- wondering whether another email mentioning money, which they could receive, is true.

If you are in either of those categories of people, you are likely to be already in contact with a scammer. Please seek advice about this immediately, and do not send any money for fees or make any other payments that are being requested.

This email is also a scam, sent by another scammer, who hopes to trick you into sending him money - instead of you sending money to the original scammer.
