Here is another scam.

Very similar email received, requesting email address confirmation be sent to mzuckerberg430@gmail.com. Now asks for Full Name, Contact Address, Mobile Number, probably prior to then asking for my bank account details in the next email, very likely after which my account will be emptied and me thus being left destitute!

Isn't it about time the senders of these emails be made examples of by being prosecuted and their victims be compensated accordingly?

I received a text from a person who said he was a classmate of mine in school and wanted me to know he had receive a gift in the amount of $150.000 from your Foundation and he saw my name on the list too.

He just thought I would want to accept the messenger text. I was contacted shortly thereafter by Carole Hediger. with the Foundation to let me know my name was on the winners list to receive $150,000.00. I would need to pay $500.00 to cover the necessary fees.

Received via email:

"Hello

I have been told I won $350,000.00 electronically by "2018 Mark Zuckerberg Foundation Program" I receive a Message from 'Paarnannguak K Olsen' and few days later by 'Jones Robinson' and Mr. Robinson have told me to fill out Information of my birthdate, where I live, Where I work and How much I make in a Month.

So, my main focus is that This might be a Scam or a Hack... Do I just leave Mr. Robinson alone?"
