I like the since i am a small girl remark to try and gain extra sympathy points.
Look, if you’re new to the internet or just stupid this is a scam. It’s called a 419 scam named after the law that outlaws this scam. What will happen is they’ll ask you for money in order to get your money, The thing is there is no money. You’ll be out of your cash and the scammers will be long gone.
Don’t be stupid.

Just another attempt to get either your personal information or to try and get you to pay a ‘processing fee’ to get your ‘money’.
Why is this fake? First off it doesn’t mention me by name or even my e-mail address. Secondly I’m not a UK citizen. Thirdly I don’t think AT&T is an ISP in England. And lastly the e-mail was sent from an Arizona State University e-mail address and the last time I checked Arizona was not in England even though London Bridge is in Arizona.
Got this e-mail today…

THIS COMMUNICATION IS FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR.
THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED SOLELY FOR THAT PURPOSE.
If anyone was going to use all caps it would be a collection agency but this is a scam.
For one they don’t say who they are collecting on behalf of. Secondly they never mentioned me by name fake or otherwise. It was not addressed to my actual e-mail address that I use in real life. And of course the address is phony.
I like how they put the information obtained will be used for solely collecting a debt. Somehow I doubt that.
