419 scam message posted on the FraudFYI Facebook page from www.emergingeducation.com director@emergingeducation.com +63-9991510462 +233-21213161 +233-21775361

I believe this scammer is using a stolen name and identity of a legitimate person.  The real Dr. Ferguson is in no way associated with this scam!  A google search on the name brings up no legitimate information otherwise.

Dear Sir

It is my pleasure to meet you, thanks for the response.

As you might have seen on my website, I have an active presence in Asia, Africa and South American Educational sector. I do not only invest my time, I also invest my money. I have also been able to mobilize people to assist in the job we are doing and I must say they are really doing a very good job.

The total amount I will make as my donation to you is $850,000.00. And this money will be spent totally on your own initiative but I would like to be getting feedback of your activities from time to time as we progress and you have to know that I will not stop supporting.

As to what you need to provide to receive the donation from me,

You need to provide me the below information to start up the process.

1, Full name

2, Address
