This is an example of a scammer who is managing his exposure to risk. I received these two scam email very recently and though they appear to be the same, the first email directs victims to reply to [email protected] while the second email directs victims to reply to [email protected] . It is still the same scammer and the scam will play out the same way no matter which email address a victim uses. The victim will be told to contact a fake Barrister/Lawyer/Attorney and demands for the payment of fees will soon flow in. The scammer has done this in order to lessen the risk of losing all his victims should one of the email accounts be closed down. No doubt he is recording all the victims' details as they respond anyway.
