Is this woman Mrs Becky Norwood, England address a fraud?

Question

I've recieved a letter from an orphanage director Mrs Becky Norwood, and I'm interested to know if there is anything fraudulent in this out traveling the internet?

Answer 1

If you received the letter through the mail, you should take it to your local Post Office and have them check it out. They can spot a scam a miles away. Yours does sound like a money scam.

If you received the letter via email, you probably did receive a scam letter trying to rip you off. There are so many phishing scams and money scams out there on the internet, I wouldn't even bother with answering the letter. You should send it to the US Government or the FTC (Federal Trade Commission).

There was a series on Date Line NBC a short while back all about money scams. Chances are, since the letter was sent supposedly from England, it was a scam. The cons are using countries all over the world since it's extremely hard to track down these crooks to bring them to justice. A huge example, the Nigerian Scam. It's well known.

Go to the US Government website and take a look at the scams they're aware of.

Answer 2

Did you seek her out or vice versa. If she's soliciting money - click on delete or report it as spam. If you are winning ANYTHING - do the same.
