I thought I’d post this because this is the first time I’ve ever been sent a scam message via influencer platform. I also figured it was worth sharing because it has been going around for a number of years. The long-winded message basically states that someone with your (in this case ) my last name had died along with his family. So the lawyer wants you to be claimed as the next of kin. You will earn 45 % of $16.5 million dollars.
So as we know this is a scam. From what I was able to find out the country listed in the message Togo is in Africa. Also, I was able to find a scam notice that was similar to this one from a blog spot website.

I have notified dealspotr and won’t reply back to the message. I was just surprised that this scam is making a revival again. Also that the scammers are now hitting deal sharing or influencer platforms.
