New email marccanadonation-gmail.comIn norcal.
I was just sent the text. It’s obvious it’s a scam.
It’s January 18th, and I just got “the text” this morning so yeah, apparently it’s still going on

Elizabeth-California...I just received the same text this morning.
I live in northern CA and received the Scam Text today.
I was surprised somebody was gifting me that kind of money. I help people in need. I don’t have money but I take people to the doctor etc etc , share my groceries when they need something to eat etc. God bless you for this online alert page thank you
I also received this message. I didn’t send or reply, for I knew it was a scam. I’m in Florida.
I think this finally ended...for now. These scams are run by Nigerians located everywhere across the globe and over the past 12 years they have been on Craigslist advertising fake voice over jobs to out of work and new voice actors looking to get a break in the biz...but all it is is a check cashing scam...these cretins need the harshest punishment
Take thier email and sign them up for stuff..spam it to the max lol as that what I did
I got this today as well...thought it looked strange, that someone I didn't know or have heard of would have my number. So I Googled his name and found this.
New email mm63728829-outlook.comBeware in Mississippi
Spam their email with nonsense, created bogus email addresses and bombard them with junk mail, sign them up for g*y p**n catalogs or whatever...do it🤫😉
They gave me Marcd7678-gmail Is what they sent to an email in Hattiesburg mississippi

To add insult to injuryto these either Nigerian & India scammers I sent another email with "my info" wink wink lolName:Walt Disney1313 Mockingbird Lane Los Angeles, Kentucky 12345Occupation:Cronic M*********r and part time folding couch tester 🤣
I just got a text this morning from these scammer's. I would like to thank you for putting this information out not for myself but for people like my mom. Who would believe that if it comes from the internet it must real.
I sent my info I feel like such a dumbass what can he do with this info?
I just emailed back and said Nice try, SCAMMER
We were just about to give our info! Thanks to this we’re not
I received this text yesterday (6/12) the email said to reply to marcd-329aol.com but the text was from marcd79282-gmail.com; I reported both emails to the FTC. I cannot believe these scams are still a thing, but the percentage of people who fall for these is big enough I guess it's worth the scammers' effort 😑.
I received it today. Do they think we are dumb?
I got this text 2 days ago & I live in Southern California... a total scam with two different email addresses. Sent the info and screenshot messages to my local sheriff's department & to the FBI in Los Angeles. These Nigerian scammer dirtbags don't give up so I keep the comedy rolling lol
$35,000,000 Canadian divided by $1,500,000 Canadian is 23.33333333 people !
Well, look at that! The "Imprisoned SomalI Prince" has opened a store! LOL!
I receive the same text but no number it's email...
Why would any body want to scam some one on this what would they gain by it.As I read this I knew it was too good to be true. As im a church person and just reading it made me want to give and give so many people like me are just to poor. just to think if this was true I could make so many people life turn around . just once a dream, who know maybe someday.
Can't they trace the scammers through the origin of the texts and send them where they belong?
It is not that easy. Anyone can buy a disposable SIM card and use it from anywhere, which makes it hard to track.
I received a text that was from an email not a phone number, email is marcd67282-gmail, did not reply thanks
I received a text from emailbleahey-cssd I figured it was a scam because I get these kind of things all the time but this was a little different and would love to be able to believe it. I'm disabled and living on under a $1000 a month. As you can imagine it would be such a Blessing. I looked up the names and found the story on Yahoo and got excited but looked further and found this so as I figured it's someone taking advantage of a true story of this couples amazing story to take from others. It's really sad that people are just talking advantage of others this way or anyway. God Bless You all.
I received a text that was from an email not a phone number email is bleahey-cssd thank you for this article. CF
Thank You very much for this article. It helps others like me from getting hurt. God Bless You.
If this is a scam it is very convincing. They insist to call. How is a scam of this caliber possible?
