This document claims to be from the Reserve Bank of India informing a beneficiary that they are owed £350,000 from the British government from 2011-2013. However, the beneficiary must first pay a £15,900 fee in order to access the funds. The document requests personal details and bank account information from the beneficiary. However, experts warn that this is likely a scam, as the Reserve Bank of India would not request payments or personal details in this manner.
