Email fraud

I am aware that an individual purporting to be Michael Tselentis QC has been sending e mails in my name to individuals in many parts of the world. These e mails indicate that the addressee of the e-mail has inherited a substantial sum of money. The e mail goes on to ask the recipient for personal information and/or money. These communications are not from me, and appear to be part of a scam being orchestrated by someone using my name illegally and without authorisation. These e mails are likely to be linked to organised fraud and when alerted to their existence I have been reported them to the police. If you have received such a communication I strongly advise that you just ignore it. Do not respond to it or communicate further with the person who sent the mail/letter to you.
