SCAM....an old proverb " if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't"
there are hosts of scams out there..the object is to give the scammer your account number, or some way of getting info on your bank info and then they remove all your assetts. it happens all the time

NO NO NO this isn't real. This is a big time scam. No attorney uses emial for anything especially something this huge.
What they are looking for are people who will believe them, Then usually they will string a person along, then ask for a bank account number and pass word so that they can deposite the money in the account. Then they clean out the bank account and disappear.
Or they will say that they need the taxes paid on this money before they send the check. Then there will never be a check.
This is a hugs scam. Show your friend what I have written. And tell her to not get scared if they say their attorney is in town and she better do what they want or else. They don't have an attorney in town, this is a huge scam

If the sender asked for a bank account number or other information, it is definitely NOT for real. I think a legitimate security deposit personnel would contact you by certified letter, not by email, anyway.
