Does anyone knows about some kind of cash aid sponsored by LG Electronics as claimed by Mr. Robert Bloom?

Question

He sent me an email notifying that I was chosen as one of the 50 recipients worldwide of a cash grant from LG Electronics in conjunction with the EU & the United Nations Organization (UNO). He instructed me to contact a bank or a security firm in the Netherlands, Falcon BV with address at Hostile 170, 1091AC Amsterdam and some guy named Mr. Anthony Rudolf with telephone no. [phone] & fax no. [phone]. I have talked with this guy in the phone and assured me its legitimate and the money is kept in the bank under some kind of an escrow/suspense account and can't be transferred unless the recepient of this cash grant open an initial deposit of 1,500 euros as a personal account and then only the cash amount can be transferred to the personal account. Latest of his email instructed me to make a payment of 1,500 euros to any Western Union money transfer agent to activate my personal account and payable to Williams Tate of Falcon Bldg., Amsterdam, The Netherlands 1045.

Answer 1

I received the same email and I believe it is a scam.

Answer 2

This is spam/fraud which probably will lead to identity theft.

A grant gives you money; it doesn't require that you put up money. Did you apply for this grant?

Of course he said it's legitimate. Did you really expect a fraudster to say "you're tight, this is a rip off"?

Answer 3

sounds like a scam
