Charity Email Scams

Watch out for these email scams that supposedly offer you a charitable donation, or that claim to need your help in distributing money to charity.

John & Lisa Robinson Powerball Scam

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

The message below is a type of scam that is becoming more common. The scammer claims to have recently won a lottery, and often uses the name of an actual lottery winner (someone not involved in the scam in any way). The scammer tells you that he wants to share his winnings with you — and from that point on the scam becomes an just another example of the good old advance fee fraud:

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

The message below is a typical example of a charity scam. The scammer claims you will be given an award, provided you use it for the benefit of needy widows and orphans. Unfortunately there is really no award and no charity organization involved — there’s just a scammer trying to extract some “charity” from your pocket.

Ivory Coast Scam

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This message is a classic example of an African “419 scam,” claiming to come from the Ivory Coast (Cote d’Ivoire), where a lot of scammers are based. It’s the “wealthy widow” version of the scam, but it has the same goal as all the other versions: to pick your pocket.

Ugo Verni Donation (scam warning)

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

The message below is an example of a mystery-charity scam. “Ugo Verni” has a large donation for you — but who is he and what is it for? Who he is — that’s a simple question: he is a scammer. What is the “donation” for? The “donation” (which doesn’t exist) is designed to pick your pocket.

St. Vincent Charity Scam

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

The message below is an example of a fake charity scam — a type of advance fee fraud. The scammer claims to have a charitable donation for you, but in reality there is no donation and no real charity is involved. The scammer presents that fake information to try to get you to reply, and then he will tell you to just send a small “processing fee” and he will release your donation. If you make the mistake of paying, he will disappear with your money, never to be heard from again.

Maria Coetzee Laurent (scam warning)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

This is a typical example of a “dying widow” scam message, notable because the scammer seems to have hacked into a mailing list from the Harvard Business School. “Mrs. Maria” is dying, alas, but her fortune is intact, and she needs your help to give it away. Who wouldn’t want to help a dying widow? Too bad “Maria” is actually a scammer.

My husband and I are true Christians, but quite unfortunately, he Died in a fatal motor accident. Since his death I decided not to re-marry, my late husband Deposited the sum of $6. 650, 000.00 US Dollars with a bank of abidjan. Presently, this Money is still in bank custody, and the management just wrote me as the legitimate Depositor to inform me of the maturity date of my deposit or rather issue a letter of Authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over as a Result of my illness, or they get it confiscated.

It is my last wish to see that this money is been invested into a very good LUCRATIVE VENTURE of your choice that will be giving out proceeds to be distributed each year Among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless baby’s, orphanage Homes and widows around. I must let you know that this was a very hard decision, But I had to take a bold step towards this issue because I have no further option.

Mariam Germain, Plane Crash (scam alert)

Posted on by

Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.

The message below is a combination two familiar scams: the plane crash scam, and the dying widow scam. And like some sophisticated scam messages, it refers to real news events to make the scam sound more legitimate. But it’s just another scam — not a real message from a wealthy widow who wants to share her fortune with you (alas).

Compliments of the day to you! I’m Mariam Germain, the mother to Gerard St. Germain and Yvette St. Germain who both died untimely in an Egypt Air crash of 1999. You can view this web site for your perusal and find the names of my Children who also perished in that ill fated air disaster.

I’m from the country of Malaysia, I lost my husband for almost 3 years now and I have been living with this pain till date. We are hospitable people and decided to serve mankind to the best of our ability. Since the death of my children (Gerard St. Germain and Yvette St. Germain), I have lived with the memories, fighting effortlessly to lead a normal life but all to no avail. I suffered psychologically and shortly was diagnosed of Cancer. I write to you, having sourced your address from a database in my late children’s internet dozier after fervent prayers. Before their death, my family had a joint account and deposited sum of $850,000 thousand dollars I need an individual that will utilize this fund inherently for these purposes: to assist the poor and helpless, motherless home These are the wishes of a dying woman. hence my decision as I do not have a child to take over my inheritance. All I need from you is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that you can in all honesty and obedience utilize the funds for it purpose and you will use %30 of this fund for your effort.

Kinds Regards
Mariam Germain
