Hello, I received an email from Master Burdloff telling me that I won €680,000, and the consulting firm actually exists in 68. Is this a scam?

    Hi,
    of course, yes, what seems strange to me today is doubting it.
    Think about it a little:
    A court officer will never tell you that in an email, where he doesn't know where it's going or who reads it.
    He will send you a summons to his office by postal mail and announce it to you face to face, that's the minimum in the ethics of his profession.
    Only scammers fish for suckers by email.
    You need to print this in your mind once and for all.

      Often in this kind of scam, the person who "poses" as the notary asks the lucky winner to pay all the fees upfront. If the winner falls for the bait, they provide their banking details to pay the fees, of course, and they are promised a transfer of the winnings upon receipt of the payment. However, a very large withdrawal will be made from the lucky winner's account.
