Barrister Dennis Adams.

Barrister De Andrade starts his email with a suitably seasonal exhaltation “Glory be to God”.  He has £4m, which he wants to share with me as I have the same surname as his late client.  Allegedly. 

Have you noticed the latest trend amongst the scammers is to assume the title of Barrister?  Do you get the feeling I don’t believe the learned gentleman?  In case you’re in any doubt – I don’t believe him.  And neither should you.  He’s a scammer.  He doesn’t want to give you money.  He wants to get his hands on your money by way of advance fees.  Just delete the email and don’t reply.

 Glory be to God for this great opportunity. Having gone through your name
on the internet, I wish to notify you that I am seeking your consent to
nominate you as a beneficiary to the estate of my late client (who had
the same surname with you) My name is Barrister Dennis Adams De Andrade
