The email below is the first of several (sending separately) that I suspect to be a scam. Notice the dates, as this one is current. I have followed the scammers process up to the point where they are asking for money to have a barrister in London notarize my supposed lottery winnings. They are asking for nearly $2500 for the notarization fee and a scan of identification documents.
