Email Fraud Alert received from: Bill
I recently received an email with this subject line: DONATION FOR CHARITY WORK and I am concerned that it could be an attempt at defrauding me. Let me know in the comments section what you think, please.
The full contents of the suspected fraudulent (phishing / scamming) e-mail appear below:
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Warren Buffett and I have an urgent donation information for you which will benefit you and your entire family, with the less privileged in your local community.
Respond back to this email immediately so as to enable me provide you with the complete information regarding this donation.
God Bless you richly.
Warren Buffett.
Email: warrenbb@163.com
The above email was sent by “WARREN BUFFETT FOUNDATION” from this email address: info@foundation.com
I, Bill, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “WARREN BUFFETT FOUNDATION”:
Not bloody likely is all I can say. The given e-mail domain, 163.com, is in an oriental language and foundation.com redirects to iapb.org – certainly NOT the behavious that one would expect from one of the richest men in the world!
