The following is the latest scam email making the rounds. This one is particularly pathetic. Trying to capitalize on the poor plight of orphans, this scammer schmuck tries to pull on your heart strings in order to facilitate their scam.
Do not be fooled by this email. Notice the same giveaways as in other emails including poor grammar, the need to keep quiet and as always a free throw-away email. This one has an aol.com reply email and was sent from an web.de email account. They are feebly trying to cover their tracks.
This idiot claims to be dying and wants to give away money and needs your help. Yet they claim to be already donating money to orphanages! WTF! Why not just give the rest of the money to them?
The email is included below:
I am William Stevenson i have been helping orphans in orphange homes by donating money and other valuable items to them around the world.Presently, i am receiving an intensive treatment in a private hospital here in dubai. i have been diagnosed with esophagael cancer it defied all forms of medical treatment and right now i have only about few months to live and i want you to distributes my funds to charities.
I have set aside 20% for you and your family to keep this secret.
