Telephone number +17167124216 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Jerome Powell", from the US Federal Reserve Bank and using the email address frb.us2022@hotmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
US Federal Reserve Bank Corporate Office
Constitution Ave NW & 20th St Northwest,
Washington, DC 20551, United States of America
Monday - Friday 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT
Tel: +1 (716)-712-4216 For Call or Text.

Your payment files from two (2) different banks, Bank of America and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, were compiled and submitted to my desk this
morning for review. The total sum owed to you by the two banks
mentioned above was sum up to the tune of $15,000,000.00 USD (Fifteen
Million United States Dollars) Now the fund has been totally lodged in
one particular Escrow account (non-deductible) here in the Federal
Reserve Bank Washington DC on your name, while waiting for
accreditation to your personal bank account in any part of the world.

Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you
have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the
release of your payment to you, but yet your payment was not released
to you due to one flimsy excuse or the other from the Bank officials
in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of diverting
your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish
interest.

You are however lucky that the management of the US Federal Reserve
Bank detected their evil plans and therefore called for the submission
of your payment file to us so we can personally handle the payment
assignment to ensure that you receive your funds accordingly.

All modalities regarding your fund release have been put in place here
in the Reserve Bank System, thus, your funds have been made ready for
transfer in our sophisticated macro transfer system, what we need from
you now is to provide to us the bank account of your choice which you
want us to transfer your funds so we can expedite action for the
accreditation of your funds into your account immediately.

Below is the information needed for now to proceed with the transfer
of your funds.

1. Personal Details:
Full Name:
Current Address:
Age/Gender:
Occupation:
Direct Mobile Number:
Passport Copy, ID card or DL:

2. Banking Details:
Bank Name:
Bank Address:
Account Name:
Account Number:
Routing Number:

As this matter is urgent, we look forward to hearing from you as soon
as possible.

Thank you,

Mr. Jerome Powell.
The Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Co-chief Operating Officer, Reserve Bank®
The email was sent from the email address "Federal Reserve Bank <dungfelicia4@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "frb.us2022@hotmail.com" and the subject "Notification Of Your Compensation Fund.".

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.
