Email Scam Alert! Fake money transfer scam

7/13/2018: There is an email scam making the rounds that has led to some compromised accounts. The email claims to be from an attorney in Johannesburg, South Africa. He is looking for an American to help access millions of dollars in a bank account and aid in the transfer of the money. The email itself does not have any links, but it does provide an email address. When someone contacts the email address, they may receive instructions that attempt to scam them out of money, credentials, or both.
