I got one of those and when I asked him “Why me”,he said he cannot make anymore money and wants to help people. I received two e-mails after that, but they don’t ask for money. Not yet anyway.

I received an email from a guy from Houston Texas claiming to be a friend of Stefano Pessina. But I questioned him when he needed me to deposit bank charges before receiving donations. Why are people scaming poor people who barely can't afford food on their tables? I wonder what has gone wrong with humanity
