Online users, beware of "Mr. Warren Buffett" donation scams like the one below, which are being sent by online scammers to trick you into sending personal information and money.

The donation scam is a type of "419" or advance-fee scam, which is dominated by online scammers from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a donation, lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account. Victims never receive this non-existent prize or donation but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous.

How are you and your family? It has been brought to my knowledge that you are yet to receive your atm card containing my $1.5 million donation due
to your inability to meet up with the financial requirement.

Reconfirm your delivery information to my secretary Pamela Bill (realpamelabill-yahoo.com) and ask her to send the ATM card
containing the total of ($1,500.000.00 US DOLLARS ) to your preferred address right-away. Inform her that I have pledged to help you with 50% of
whatever it would cost to finally get your ATM card to you.

Accept this gesture as my token of assistance to you and your loved ones in these trying times of covid-19.

Warm regards
Warren E Buffett"
