On 17th June 2018, telephone number +27834022388 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be William John Cole using email address willj1cole@mail.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee.
