Description
Scammer sent our animal rescue group an email offering to donate $2000. The tone and and content of the email sounded very scammy: appreciate your email. My wife Leslie and I have a tradition of contributing to the community each year as a gesture of goodwill. We prioritize directing our donations to organizations with strong reputations, and we've learned that yours is highly regarded. We're delighted to pledge a donation of $2000 to support this commendable initiative. Given our adherence to a predetermined budget, I'll be instructing my financial associate to issue and mail you a check for the specified amount. We are very old school and prefer to make payments through paper checks for all our obligations. Could you provide me with the necessary details for mailing the check? Specifically, I'll need the name that should appear on the check and the corresponding mailing address. We hope that our contribution will provide you with added resources to pursue your objectives and we extend our best wishes for the ongoing success of your projects. Looking forward to reading from you soon. Best regards, David Buchanan.
