I recieved an email and I don't know if it is real or not. I am trying to find out. I live in America. Anyways, I am supposed to contact a lawyer in England. His company is Lead Way + Associate....His name is Barrister John Montgomery....and the phone numbers are +447017022498 and +447701025593. Could someone get a phone book and look to see if they indeed do exist? And could I get a telephone number for the police there? I thought maybe I could call them and ask them if no one knows. My next step is to figure out how to even make that call. I have never made a call country to country. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Let me guess, you've won a lottery that you never bought a ticket for. Its fake. the number isreal, but they will tell you that in order to receive your prize you have to pay the taxes on it first which amount to thousands ofdollars. You won't see a cent of the money. Its all a scam. i received that email months ago.

I'm sure you got a scam email. Everyone gets those. I know exactly what you're talking about. It's a scam, it's not real, and don't bother trying to call.

The Nigerian Scam (or 419 Advance Fee Fraud).
Be warned, they promise millions but you could lose everything.
(btw - don't call those numbers, they could be premium rate lines)

They get your identity and your money.
You get no money and only a lot of troubles.
