Online users, beware of fake Donation emails like the ones below being sent by online scammers. The aim of the scammers is to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information. Then, the scammers will subsequently ask their potential victims to send them money before they can received their so-called grant. But, if the money is sent, the scammers will take it and disappear, and the victims will not get the grant they were promised.

Remain bless in the Lord

My name is Rev Father Peter Cox I am 77 years old. I have been suffering in the sick bed for the past 7 years. Now I believe that my time has come to join my ancestors in heaven. I got your email address from the Internet, as the spirit of Almighty God directed me to contact you for this charity work. I have $ 25,000,000.00 Million deposited with the Finance Tax Force Office for security reasons which I want you to claim on my behalf for an important charitable project,

Can you honestly do this for me?

If Yes,text me with this Number: 1412 530-5034. Please note that I can only receive and text only. I was restricted for making and receiving calls by my doctor due to my health issues. So you can only text or send me emails don't call.

Remain bless in the Lord.
Rev Father Peter Cox"
