Scammers are sending out fake emails like the one below to potential victims, claiming Powerball winner Bill Lawrence is donating thousands or millions of dollars to people around the world. But, this is a lie and if the potential victims reply to the fake emails, they will be asked to send money in order to receive their so-called charity donation from Bill Lawrence. And, if the money is sent, the scammers will take it and disappear, and the victims will not get the money or donation they were promised. Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a donation or lottery prize, it is a scam.

    How are you doing? We presume all is well with you and your family. In respect to your mail regarding what will be required from you.

    Kindly note that we shall be responsible and pay for all the expenses that may incur during this transaction like the Attorney, Probate, Insurance, corporate fee etc. You have nothing to be worried about, we will do everything legally required to ensure that the donation transaction goes smoothly, it shall pass through all Laws of International Banking, you have my word.

    They changed mine up a little bit. Now they are offering 1,080,000.00 to me. Still got selected with a random email generator. This time they are using a different lawyer - Anthony Rodriqguez.

    I texted them back saying "cool story bro."

    They replied back with, "Rest assured, this is real."

    So I replied, "What happened to Juan Rossl? He's your personal lawyer, not Anthony Rodriquez. He's not hurt or injured, is he? Pray no. :( "

    And no response after that, lol

    I recently received the same text message from "info8@jrossi.xyz". Once in the text the number says "00-14-18"

    The text reads "I am Bill Lawrence, the recent Powerball winner, I have decided to donate $1,000,000.00 to some lucky numbers and you are one of them.Your number got selected through a random computer ballot system submitted to us by the US Telco database.

    In addition, (FYI), I searched "Juan Rossi" and the only information that popped up for him was a Linked In account... My guess is that the account is fake to make him look real for potential victims.

    I have just received the very same text. I have also received a similar message but doing research online, I managed to make contact with the Rosales Esser, RossI & Asociados Law Firm, I was kindly attended by one of their representatives. They are located in Venezuela 🇻🇪 and they informed me that they are not representatives of Bill Lawrence, they do not know Bill Lawrence and that they have received a large number of messages on the same matter. They indicated to me that they are impersonating their name to commit scam and fraud. That he did not respond to that type of email and reported it as Spam. They have already made the complaint to the local authorities in Venezuela.

      I have just received the very same text. I live in DE as well. I looked into the law firm and it appeared suspicious to me. It's listed as a law firm but when I tried to find specifics, it lead me to sales and such. The group is listed on linked in but the "lawyer" who is supposedly be handling the handouts has attended law school but is not a lawyer?!.it also says he is an IT specialist I believe. ( Check it out on Linked IN). It also shows the firm is linked to DE businesses. Anyway, it is all too supicious. Mr. Lawrence has children and grandchildren. I couldn't imagine that he would give away money to random people especially people on the opposite coast. It would be more reasonable to make donations that matter in my opinion.
