"Francois Pinault" Donation Scam: Do Not Be Fooled

Good morning everyone please someone here should help me to report this below email, someone pretend to be Mrs Charlotte trying to steal my money...

remove

I received the Francois P. email about a donation as well. I replied " ... you have the wrong email address ... " I then received a long email explaining why I was picked to receive a more than $7M USD donation under my name to give away to the needy in my area. I was not asked for money (yet) but was asked for personal information (not an SSN or a bank acct - just general info like Name, Address, Country, Age, Gender, Marital Status, Occupation and Phone #). Suffice it to say, I deleted this longer message w/o replying.

I found the email "francoispinault03@outlook.com" associated with another scam that was sent from "lazaro.santos@pmsj.ba.gov.br". This scam had a Subject of "re" and an absolutely bizarre From address displayed ("=?utf-8?b?IkZyYW7Dp29pcyBQaW5hdWx0IiA8bGF6YXJvLnNhbnRvc0BwbXNqLmJhLmdv?="@mail.pmsj.ba.gov.br).

The email itself was:

$3.5 Million Has Been Donated To You,By François Pinault due to the covid-19 pandemic this is Real Get back For More Info

WhatsApp: 447452035105 ...

Is it even worth finding and locating sender?

I got this message yesterday but a larger email promising me the money if my dreams to be able to purchase my dream home in sandbanks with a lift as disabled. I thought wow this guy is doing random acts of kindness which I do myself then my heart sank this is a con and it made me feel sick these people shouldn’t be allowed to rip people off shame on them.

I am disabled and I have a disabled daughter if I where Francois I will put a stop to this. I was told I would be receiving 7.5 million because he was dying and wanted to share his wealth. I felt sad about this. PLEASE NO ONE FALL FOR THIS. I have very little and that could have been reduced to nothing thanks to these scammers

I received this email today, and thank you for your article so I can find this old scam is still around. Looks like the name has changed to Patrick and Francess Connolly but nothing else is different. Odd way to spell Francis.

Urban Dictionary: "Francess. A beautiful girl who any man is lucky to have in his life she is kind,caring,loving,supportive and hot she will never leave someone out she will be kind .."

Email received From: Gayle Elizabeth Paquette (Gpaquette@tru.ca)

Email contents:

"A special donation was made to you and your family. Contact ( patrickandfrancessconnolly@gmail.com) for details...

Please Note: This is the third time we have been trying to contact you.

Best Regards"

I received a very authentic looking email and various attachments that certaI ly looked legitimate and what ultimately made me respond to the email, is that a copy of Mr. Francois Pinaults passport and I googled information on him and everything seemed to stack up. I also received a POA issued in my favour and allegedly signed by Mr Pinault and co signed by a partner at the law firm Perez Llorca. I have tried numerous times to contact them, in this regard, but have received no reply. The other 'official'documents I received were a Deposit Certificate from BNP Paribas Bank and a release of funds for from Kering Group. It just all looks so legit but is obviously not for real. Who can I report this to? My email is andrevolbrecht@gmail.com I would appreciate any assistance with this matter. Many thanks, Andre Volbrecht

"If you receive an e mail from someone who says they are Francois Pinault and are sending you a check for One million dollars, if you would donate money to needy charities. This is a scam. The real person and his son live in France and are very wealthy. They would not donate to individuals. They said if you would send money to pay for charges to send the check they would mail to you. Another way would be to set up a checking account in London? and I could send this money to my account. Delete this information immediately. Unfortunately at first I did not realize it is a scam and gave them some information but not my banking information. The way they write their emails telling you information about himself and his son you think this for real. I have been scammed once for money which I will not be able to get it returned. I am glad I was able to get this information before too late!"

I have handed all my wealth to my children, but there is part of it which nobody is aware of. I have been putting it away for this purpose since a long time now, I want to cede it out as gift for you to help Orphanages homes in your country, hoping it would be of help to you and others too, as this is my last wish to appreciate God for his grace upon my life.

I would have done this myself but for my health reason and if I do it through my oldest son, François-Henry Pinault, I am very certain he will not help anyone with it. François-Henry Pinault took me to court the last time I gave out money out of generosity. I have made life worth living for myself and my family, it is my hope that you are able to receive this money, all I want from you is to be honest with me and help others from it too.

Some percentage of my wealth I've been putting away in a private deposit for a long time. I am trying to cede this money in portions through the bank I deposited it to as many as can benefit from it because I do not really have much to do with it. As I send this message to you, I am also sending to churches, Orphanages, and individuals,
