received email saying simply: You have a donation I knew it was a scam, but I have nothing to lose, so thought I would explore a bit. Responded back. Received the following:
.
Dear Friend,

I appreciate you for writing back as I have expected. I got your email from a web journal and felt strongly to write to you. I might not know your present condition and what you are going through in life, but I believe that this money will be of good help to you and your family. I am François Pinault, I am a French Citizen and a businessman, 80 years old, and worth $15.9 billion US Dollars.The intention of this email is to be of immense blessing to people, at my age, I cannot continue to amass wealth without giving out. I might not have the liberty of time due to my ailment (Dementia), therefore, I am doing this now. I have handed all my wealth to my children, but there is part of it which nobody is aware of. I have been putting it away for this purpose since a long time now. I want to cede it out as gift for you to help Orphanages homes in your country, and hoping it would be of help to you and others too, as this is my last wish to appreciate God for his grace upon my life. I would have done this myself but for my health reason and if I do it through my oldest son, François-Henri Pinault, I am very certain he will not help anyone with it. François-Henri Pinault took me to court the last time I gave out money out of generosity. I have made life worth living for myself and my family, it is my hope that you are able to receive this money, all I want from you is to be honest with me and help others from it too.

10% of my worth I've been putting away in a private deposit for a long time now and have reached an amount of $73,500,000.00. I am trying to cede this money in portions through the bank I deposited it to as many as can benefit from it because I do not really have much to do with it. As I send this message to you, I am also sending to churches, Orphanages, and individuals, 10% to you and others each to whom I have contact with already. Now, all this being said, if you know you are ready to receive the funds $7,350,000 (Seven Million, Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand United State Dollars).

Kindly introduce yourself in details to me:

Full Name:
Contact Address:
Country:
Age:
Sex:
Occupation:
Phone Number:

Then will I give you a letter to receive your portion of the money from the bank. This is my personal money and does not need many formal procedures, some beneficiaries have received theirs. My only term is that you be sincere to me and help the less privilege people that's all. Please make it fast because I have only a few days to use a computer since the doctors have given instructions to stop me from the use of electronics.

As I wait your response, I wish you a wonderful day.

Yours Faithfully,
François Pinault.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.

Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
