Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.
It surprises me how many scammers seem to use the name Elvis. Regardless of the choice of nomenclature, this is a familiar type of next-of-kin scam, where you’re asked to pose as the relative of a deceased person, so the deceased person’s bank account can be emptied out. If you play along, the only bank account that will be emptied out will be your own.
