A Danish woman owned two businesses in Dubai - and wants to give money to you? No.

Oh, I don't think so. Don't be fooled or respond by messages like this, just delete them, after laughing that they apparently don't know how to clean up their copy/paste into a hijacked email account.

Domain scammers care about the environment

I received identical copies of this message over a couple of days at several totally unrelated email addresses hovered from various websites that I operate. This is the usual protection racket: If you contact them, they will charge you hefty fees to "protect" your domains. However, your domains are perfectly safe without their protection. Don't be fooled - ignore messages like this. Even if they do claim to care about saving trees.

us konw, as we will help them complete the registration.

God bless you
Rev Father Jean Paul Preval

If you're still alive, they want your money

Such delightful scam - with a subject line that implies that you might be dead, but if not, contact them to get fleeced. Needless to say, this isn't a legitimate communication from the "International Monetary Fund Agency," whatever that is. Delete messages like this, don't reply to them.
