Scammers are sending out fake Jeffrey Epstein emails like the below, claiming the late American billionaire, who recently died in a New York prison, instructed his financial assistance to give millions of dollars to individuals for charity work. But, this is only another advance-fee scam, where the scammers will ask their potential victims to send money or gift cards in order to receive their so-called charity money.
