Telephone number +17167511642 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "David Bowdich" and using the email address bowdichd@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Congratulations, your file was reviewed by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) on Friday 30th October 2020, your payment has been approved now by the United States government, meaning, that your fund has been released officially to you and you're required to provide the below personal information for the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) for the record and to fill the necessary documents before receiving your fund.

Your Full Name:
Your Full Address:
Your Mobile Number:
Your Occupation:

Congratulations once more and I wish you all the best

Yours truly,
David Bowdich
(716) 751-1642
The email was sent from the email address "Agent David Bowdich <bowdichd@investigation.net>", with the Reply-to address "<bowdichd@gmail.com>" and the subject "Good News!!!".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
