Telephone number +27718439889 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Austine Edwards" and using the email address austinezeph2020@yahoo.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
Dear

Thank you for your response to my proposal I am sorry my son isn't feeling well and he asked me to respond to your message and link you to our family Attorney in South Africa who will give you details and procedure on how the transaction will be concluded in your name and on behalf of my family. Below are his private details:

Please Contact My Family Attorney:

Name : Austine Edwards (Attorney)
Tel: 00 27 71 843 9889
Email: austinezeph2020@yahoo.com

Kindly contact him immediately and he will send you details and directions on how the fund will be transferred to your private Bank account and come back to me with his response to you.

Thanking you for your immense cooperation in advance

Mrs. Amina Haafiz (Widow)
For the family.
The email was sent from the email address ""Ms. Haafiz" <mrsaminahaafiz@outlook.com>", with the subject "VERY URGENT ATTENTION.".

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.
