Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The fake email below that appears to be from a so-called Mrs. Maya Luis, a widow from Madrid, Spain, is a scam. The aim of the scam is to entice and trick potential victims into responding. But, their responses will go to scammers who will attempt to trick them into sending their personal and financial information, which the scammers will use fraudulently. Potential victims may also be asked to send money via Western Union or other remittance services. Once the scammers receive what they want, they will disappear and potential victims will never receive the money/donation they were promised.
