Ford Foundation has recently issued an advisory:
“[You]... may have been contacted through scam emails claiming to be from or associated with the Ford Foundation. These emails are circulating on the Internet in various languages and may use the foundation’s logo and web address.
The emails notify recipients of a foundation award for their personal, educational and business development. Recipients are asked to contact an office in London to claim the prize and to provide personal information to release the grant.
These emails, Web sites, and accompanying materials and claims are in no way associated with the Ford Foundation or any foundation employees. .... If you are contacted [through]... an email making such claims, [you are advised] not to respond.”
