yes I also got this mail
I almost felt for this. They have my name address and phone number but nothing else. This site save me from going forward their need to be serious consequences for these fraudsters
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
Be careful guys. It is a big scam. It is US$3,000,000.00 Now.
The new scam is for $3 mil now. Bozo's
You'd think if Mr. Pessina was worth $10 billion he could afford to hire someone who knows proper grammar and spelling.
