Online users, be aware of the "Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken" donation scam below. The scam is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money. Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, a Dutch-English businesswoman and the owner of a 25% controlling interest in the world's second-largest brewer, Heineken International, would never send emails to random individuals around the world requesting personal information or ask them to send money in order to receive a donation from him.

Remember, never send money or personal information if you are asked to do so in order to receive a donation or lottery prize. This is how scammers steal their potential victims' information, and how they steal their victims' money.

You can no longer use the email address of the scammers!
I do not know who has taken care of that, but hopefully they know that they have been caught!

I received the same email, and because I was suspicious of demand for 1500 Euros, I did a scan search. Thanks for posting this quickly.
(I did not intend to send the 1500, as demanded, but I feel much better with your confirmation that this is indeed a scam!) Thank you!
Below is the email that they sent demanding the 1500:
"Re: Transfer of Funds
The transfer of your money £1,000,000.00 GBP (One Million Pounds) to your norminated bank account has just been carried out.
The money was transferred in euro equivalent by bank BNP Paribas Fortis in NETHERLANDS
£1,000,000.00 GBP = €1,114,000.00 EUR
According to the bank the money will not be in your account, until you pay €1,500 EUR (One Thousand Five Hundred Euro) as the Cost of Transfer charges.
Due to the Irrevocable bond as invoked on the money for security reasons, the outgoing transfer fee cannot be deducted from the principal amount. The money is automatically bound by a legal agreement.
Thus we can't legally deduct the required amount of €1,500 from the outgoing transfer fee.
You will be provided with the bureau officer payment details on your request in order to enable you pay this fee as quickly as possible so as to finalize or complete this transfer in your favour.
We have attached the transfer slip below
Hope to hear from you soon
Best Regards,
Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken"
