Received via email: "Hey, I am a student from Morocco 22 years old. I just want to inform you that I got scammed by a group that claims they are from LinkedIn Team Bond and I have won a sum of 500.000 $ in an Annually LinkedIn online international Rifle Draw. I was cheerful and very happy at first and followed all their instructions, they left me no room for doubt at all until they asked me to send them a sum of money of 595$ as a register in a new bank. Here they raised my doubt and I went to look at Google for an example of this Annually Rifle Draw of LinkedIn, then I found your alert about it and it's just a scam. Frankly, I was shocked Because I sent them all the details about my bank card and even sent a scanned copy of it but not a password and I hope I will not be exposed to any monument. I will send you the documents they sent to me. I beg you to publish it so everyone knows that this is just a scam. And one last thing, please hide my name and all my privacy while sharing this. Thank You"
