    So basically I cannot trust this company correct the foundation of azim azim foundation because I got that letter about 1.5 million but I know where it leads to it leads to after you give him information and everything it leads to you have to pay $2,000 transaction fee you know what up to get your 1.5 million dollars it cost $2,000 in transaction fees and that I have to pay once I do that I get 1.5 million is that a scam or not thank you

  • September 11, 2022 at 9:41 AM by an anonymous user from: Hicksville, New York, United States

    Well I just found in my email basically the same thing that was written above exactly the same dialogue and everything trying to get my information the same way just like on that scan page that you're showing well I have received it and the person keeps asking me for my information then if you deal with this kind of people after that they say you have to put $2,000 to American Bank Bank of America in order to pay for transaction I mean come on you giving out 1.5 million dollars and you need $2,000 of my money for transaction if you already given out as a present 1.5 million dollars you might as well cover the shipping code so whatever you call that transaction costs but no only after I make $2,000 transaction payment for transaction to Bank of America only then I will receive 1.5 million isn't that obviously funny stupid scam I mean do people fall for it actually for me enough like that 1.5 million but pay for transaction $2,000 seriously how about you deduct the $2,000 from 1.5 million and just send it over basically those are my money right so I'm allowing you guys basically to use that money to pay for transactions because that's my money and they in your possession so might as well if you already given a gift might as well just pay from there and that's it no but you want me to pay my money that's what I wrote to them and when I wrote to them that I had been a target of the same kind of schemes where my a long family actually who lived in Spain which I never had family in Spain leaves me money in the bank also and now I have to pay transaction fee for the same money to get my inheritance when I told them about those kind of things that's it this guys disappear even blocked me I think don't fall for this BS seriously if you get 1.5 million and when they going to tell you to send $2,000 is it transaction fee to Bank of America once you tell them well you got 1.5 million of my money in your possession can you please pay from there these guys are gone thank you be safe

      The scammers will ask their potential victims to send them money in order to receive their so-called donation. But, if the money sent, the scammers will take it and disappear, leaving the victims without the donation they were promised.

      The scammers will also sell the information sent by the victims to other scammers, who will contact and attempt to scam the same victims using the same or other scams. And, the cycle goes on.

      Hello Azim. Unfortunately I was on the end of the scam who if I hadn't dug deeper would have gotten me into trouble. Fortunately you have some friends looking after your interest by pointing out that the whole thing is a scam.

      I live in Portugal where there are a lot of unfortunate people, I had the idea that I could help them somehow. However, upon reflection whatever the state of those in Portugal, compared to some people in other parts of the world, they are well off.

      There is poverty here no doubt, but not in comparison to people in other countries who are currently undergoing unbearable sufferings.

      I commend you on your kindness and the help you offer these people.

      Kindest regards. John.

    I am devastated and have lost everything including my respect for myself. I was desperately hoping my fears were unwanted because I needed them to be.

    Now I am destitute and have no savings. I am homeless and have no insurance of any kind. I feel hurt and stupid and worthless. There is no way to get back my money I’m sure and there’s no chance that this is the real deal after reading all the remarks from others.

    I am now too embarrassed to tell anyone what has happened to me. I have no reason to trust anyone now. And I have no reason to be here now. My goal was philanthropic and possible to reach for a minute there.
