I received one via text. Not through email. Of course I was suspicious immediately. I looked into the foundation set up in the mother's name, and it's legitimate. Still, I know better. Why me, for one thing. This is so cruel, cause someone like me really needs financial help, thus, getting their hopes up. Very cruel, but at least they're not getting what little I have, in hopes of a bigger payout.
