Just reading the wording on that email would make me suspicious as it does not read as good written English which would be expected from a bona fide company engaged in such business - it also echoes precisely the words used in the opening sequences of the show without offering any specific information about an unclaimed estate that the recipient might be entitled to.
I hope no one is/has been fooled.

Yes, we all hope we wouldn't be daft enough to be tricked by things like this. Sadly we have seen articles and programmes with perfectly intelligent people saying "I should have KNOWN! ......" The more we keep sharing these scams the fewer people will fall for them.
Like OC .... my back would be well and truely up if I got an email addressed Hello Dear!
