Our Large Donation Scam
I don’t know if you have noticed, but I don’t even bother posting most of these scam letters any more, because they all get to look alike. This one is a little different, and LOL, they mention the “only $153. fee” right up front for my $500,000 very large charitable sum that they want to send to me . . .
Peace Be Unto you
This is a personal email directed to you, Let me formally introduce myself
to you, my name is (Mr. Allen Large). I and my dear wife Violet won a
Jackpot Lottery of $11.3 million in July 2010 and have voluntarily
decided
to donate the sum of $500,000.00 USD to you as part of our own charity
project to improve the lives of some individuals all over the world.
Kindly send your below details to Federal Express Ltd to
enable them effect the delivery of your valid Bank Draft of $500,000.00
USD to you immediately. The draft was deposited with Nigeria FedEx office

We have paid for the necessary delivery fee except that of the

I got this too. It is an actual couple that did win the lottery. It looks real and is super mean to take the good thing this couple did and turn it into a scam.
The one I got today is meaner, Amanda25. It uses the name of a real friend to ask me to send money, claiming he was robbed. I know that particular scam; it has entrapped many trusting soul.
