Telephone number +2250574016479 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Janice Lakic" and using the email address janicelakic@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Hello,
I'm Ms Aleksandra Lakic. I am writing from a hospital in Ivory Coast,
therefore this mail is very urgent, I have been told by my doctor that
I was poisoned and have got my liver damaged and can only live for few
more weeks, I have a little orphan child, named Janice and [8.4
Million dollars] I inherited from my late father, I want you to help
her out of this country with the money. (1) Set out 40% of the money
to establish my daughter Janice (2) Give 30% of the money to the less
privileged. The remaining 30% should be for you and others that you
may love to assist. Contact my daughter with her details below.

Janice Lakic
janicelakic@gmail.com
Telephone: +225 0574 0164 79

She will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to a
well known lawyer that I have appointed to her, the lawyer will assist
you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the
bank to transfer the money to you. Janice is a young girl therefore
guides her.
Thanks for your acceptance to help accomplish my wish.
Ms Aleksandra Lakic
The email was sent from the email address "Aleksandra Lakic <janice.dawson1968@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "allhomela1@gmail.com" and the subject "Urgent From Hospital".

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.
