"Shell Community Heritage Trust Foundation" and "SHELL INTERNATIONAL LOTTO" are labels used by a gang of advance fee fraud ("419") scammers operating in Nigeria. There are various parallels to the "Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust Charity Foundation" scam, which also includes a fake lottery version.

The scammers have no connection to Shell oil company, which was probably picked because it's a well known company in Nigeria.

+447005804389 - a phone number with a heritage ;-)
A UK special service number (+44 70xxx) used in this scam has featured in numerous other 419 frauds from Nigeria. The number +447005804389 was used in 2003/2004 for a fake lottery scam in the name of "MARYLYN PEREZ", the payment coordinator for "SWISS DOMO INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY" and "LOTTO DOMO NETHERLANDS INTERNATIONAL" as well as by "Suzanne Perez" of the NETHERLANDS INTERNATIONAL PROMO LOTTERY". More recently the number belonged to "BERNICE COOPER" of the "UK International Lottery".
