Telephone number +12027701852 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Alejandro Mayorkas" and using the email address dhsdevice001@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:

Attn: beneficiary,

I write to officially inform you that a total sum of US$15.5 Million (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollar) is in your name. Some years back, it was Held by the authorities at the airport for Investigation because a clear account wasn't given as to the purpose of the Fund. The airport authorities intercepted the fund because such funds without a clear record could be used for illegal financial activities. We have run a private background check on you and you are clear and have not been part of any criminal/illegal activity, either by support or financing.

You have all the lawful right to claim the fund.

Kindly get back to us so we can give you further details on how to receive your fund.

Thanks for your cooperation as I expect your urgent response.

Yours Faithfully,
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
Department of Homeland Security
Washington DC.
Phone: (202) 770-1852
