A new take on the Walter Ashdown Law Firm Scam?

Question

I received an email that a woman dying of cancer was going to leave me $10,500. All I had to do was email her barrister Walter Ashburn at [e-mail]. I was suspicious so I googled the name, and found that this is the same name and email used found in other scams.

Answer 3

I have just received an email from friend in USA regarding the same thing only the figure was £12 million and the "Barrister" was using a different name. One big scam.

Answer 4

You mean you thought that a 'barrister', using a yahoo address in Hong Kong, and had $10,5000 dollars for you from a woman you'd never met or knew of, might be a scam?

Have you thought of joining Mi5? I'm pretty sure they'd have missed it.
