I was just recently contacted via email by this foundation as well, 07/19. I am all about getting justice and imprisoning these cyber scammers who scam innocent people out of their hard earned money and get their hopes up...

Thank you for confirming the validity of your email address and also accepting this grant. We know this message maybe a surprise to you but do kindly accept our gift and donation as a kind gesture from our ongoing good will project 2020. Our Foundation is truly committed to "giving while living," We just recently organized and launched our
internet donation program as this will enable us reach out to more people outside the shores of Asia so they too can benefit from the fortune of Sir Ka-shing Li, GBM, KBE and our foundation as a whole. Many other major philanthropists look primarily to support large institutions and not individuals which is absolutely wrong thus we are changing such with this program.

The launch of this internet/mobile donation program came up so as to avoid unsolicited pleas for donations and to avoid the idea of people feeling indebted to him/us. To facilitate the disbursement process of the funds valued at One Million Two Hundred Thousand United State Dollars [$1,200,000 USD] which have been donated solely to you, please provide the below information. I am hoping that you will be able to use
the money wisely and judiciously. I ask you to do what you can to alleviate the level of poverty in your region and also try to enhance the standard of living of as many people as you can and see the joy and happiness of giving.

I got one but I didn't respond to it, although the money would be great but not all of it. I am in need of help. $5000 would get me out of debt but I will get out eventually. I need my house repairs done and winter is about to start. Me and my husband are both sick. He is disabled and I work at a fast food restaurant. So there is my story. But I will not respond to the email that is in my spam folder and god bless!

Hi, as soon as they were asking for $370.80 to open the account I decided to see online if this was a scam since it sounded like an actual thing. They are sneaky! I didn't give them the money, however I did give them other info about me like my full name, phone number, address, occupation, next of kin names, date of birth and a picture of my drivers license. Do I need to change my phone number now or something?
