I did receive one of these emails and I am corresponding with Gerrod Rodgers at this time.

When I sent him the information I requested he give me a certification number my Attorneys could use to reference the Google Foundation.

How do you suggest I proceed.

I have no money so they can not get funds from me but they do have my location in Colombia S.A.
