The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:

Dear Friend,

Thanks for your response. I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but I had to do it for the security of the information I want to pass across to you and as such, I want our communication to be basically through email for now. Because of the nefarious act being perpetrated on the internet by individual’s whose only AIM is to reap people off their hard earned money, I have decided to be very careful in selecting a capable partner for this business. PLEASE REPLY ONLY IF INTERESTED.

I am Mr. Sebastian Paredes, Chief Executive Officer, DBS Bank Hong Kong Limited. My client, who died with his wife and only child, made a fixed deposit of $30.5 Million in my branch. From investigations, he did not declare any next of kin so; I need you as a foreigner to act as the next of kin to get this fund for us because the funds will revert to the government of Hong Kong if nobody comes to claim it. My anticipated percentages for sharing shall be fair enough 55% for me, 45% for you. My Attorney will perfect the legal documents. Should you be interested please contact me and I shall provide you with more details of this operation.

Regards,
Sebastian Paredes
Chief Executive Officer
DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited

The email was sent from the email address "DBS DBS <dbsb234@gmail.com>", with the subject "Re: Good day".

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.
