Now fraudsters are taking advantage of the war in Ukraine and sending emails in which they put pressure on people's tears.
Not only are false reports most effective when they relate to current events, but so are spam emails . So it was a matter of time before fraudsters used the war in Ukraine for their machinations. Instead of a Nigerian prince, it is now poor women from Ukraine who are supposedly sending emails. So the name of the occasion is different, the method remains the same:
Hello Mr./Mom, I am Ms. Ivanna Olga.
I am a Ukrainian widow.
My husband died a month ago before the current Russian special forces invasion. I got your email contact through a private search, I seriously and desperately need help and have no other option but to gather courage and contact you. Please, I urgently need financial assistance to get me and my family out of the city of Pryluky in north-central Ukraine.
I am seriously looking for help from anyone who wants to help me and my two daughters Yaryna 8 and Oksana 4, We have to escape from our house in Kiev due to the Russian airstrikes in Kiev, I and my children were taken to a safe bunker in Pryluky near the Kyiv border hidden, We do not have the ability to access money from the bank due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Please send anything you can help us with as Bitcoin. The authorities have informed us that Bitcoin payment, which I am not familiar with, is the only way to receive funds due to the current unrest in the country to purchase critical supplies such as food, water and other essential needs using cryptocurrencies procure.
No amount is poor, we just have to survive out here. For the sake of humanity, please help us as little as possible. Please help us escape this terrible Russian government invasion of a nearby town, Here is the Bitcoin wallet address: 0x4e [EDITED] c5
Please pray for our safety. Pray for Ukraine Please, the above is not my email address as I lost my phone while running for our lives. The email and the phone belong to one of us here. God bless you.
We strongly advise against responding to these or similar emails. Nobody has to feel guilty if an email like this is deleted. It is an attempted fraud.
