Warren Buffett E-mail Phishing Scam

April 10, 2023

The last time I received a similar email was 2016.  I thought by now that this would have run its course.

Very unlikely that a Gmail account would be used by Warren Buffett.  If you have received this e-mail and responded, best to contact the FBI Cyber Division.

 

From: Warren Buffett <tomheinz231@gmail.com>

Hello,

My name is Warren E. Buffett, I am an American business magnate, investor and philanthropist. I am the most successful investor in the world. I believe strongly in “giving while living.” I have one idea that has never changed in my mind, that you should use your wealth to help people and I have decided to donate {$2,500,000.00} Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars to randomly selected people around the world. When you receive this email, you should count yourself as a lucky person because your email address was selected online during a random search.

Please get back to me soon so I know your email address is correct.

Visit this website: www.britannica.com/biography/Warren-Edward-Buffett or google my name for more information: (Warren Buffett).

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Mr. Warren Buffett
