Telephone number +12027693879 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Johnson Williams" and using the email address johnson-associate-chamber@hotmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
OFFICE OF ATTORNEY JOHNSON WILLIAMS
1101 Vermont Ave NW #1000, Washington, DC 20005, United States

Attention:

This is to let you know that I received the message you sent to me today 28th March 2023, concerning Capitaine Rose late husband's fund that were being deposited in Chase bank, which she has already told me that she wants the bank to remit her late husband's fund of ($6,8000,000.00) into your own account and I have sent a message across to the bank based on that and the bank will get back to me for more details

Now read the below letter very well and also forward it to Rose. It is about probate and I hope you know what probate means.

Grant of probate or letters of administration

This comes when there has been a death in a family or among a close circle of friends. First and foremost, our condolences. For purposes of this page, the person that has passed on will be referred to as the Deceased.

If the Deceased left any Property, bank account(s), insurance policy(s) or any other assets (“Assets”) in his/her name, these Assets will have to be passed on to the Deceased’s family or in accordance to the Deceased’s wishes in his/her Will.

In order to do so, you will have to approach a Lawyer (which you Capitain Rose have already approached us) to apply for the necessary Court document that empowers and authorizes either the next-of-kin, the person appointed in the Will or some other person allowed in Law to handle and take over the control of the Assets of the Deceased and to distribute the said Assets according to the Will or Law.

If the Deceased died with a Will, the Deceased would be considered a Testator. The Court Order that would be required to be obtained is a Grant of Probate. The person appointed in the Will to handle and take over the control of the Assets of the Deceased, in order to then carry out the intention of the Deceased as set out in the Will, is known as the Executor (or Executors, if more than one). The Executor would be the right person to apply for the Grant of Probate through a Law Firm.

If the Deceased died without a Will, the Deceased would be considered to have died as an Intestate. The Court Order that would be required to be obtained is the Grant of Letters of Administration. In such a case, the immediate next-of-kin or closest relative (with prior rights) would be able to apply for the Grant of Letters of Administration. This person or persons would be known as the Administrator or Administrators of the Estate.

As for the distribution of the Assets, it would depend if the Deceased had a Will, in which event his/her Assets will have to be distributed according to the wishes of the Deceased as set out in the Will; or if there is no Will, in which event his/her Assets would have to be distributed according to Law and in this case according to the Intestate Succession Act (Chapter 146). The Assets of a Deceased will form his/her Estate.

We will provide a cost effective way to obtain the necessary Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration from Court. We have evolved a Scheme to make it efficient for you and for us to handle your matter; from taking instructions, to preparation of the Court documents to the fixing of appointment(s) with you.

The cost under the scheme is S$1,000- onwards (excluding disbursements). This is for straight forward uncontested probate and letters of administration applications, where the assets are reasonable in quantity and value.

Please feel free to contact me at +1 (202) 7693879 or email johnson-associate-chamber@hotmail.com

Yours Sincerely,

Attorney. Johnson Williams.
Legal Practitioner
The email was sent from the email address ""Bar. Johnson Williams" <johnson-associate-chamber@hotmail.com>", with the subject "Re: Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,".

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.
