"Davies Family Charitable Trust" Donation Scams

Recipients of email messages similar to the one below, which claim the Davies Family Charitable Trust is donating millions of dollars to randomly selected individuals, is a scam being sent by cyber criminals to potential victims. The Davies Family (Sonia Davies, Keith Reynolds, Stephanie, Courtney and Steve Powell), who £61.1 million in the EuroMillions jackpot is not randomly giving away millions to selected individuals, therefore, recipients of email messages which claim otherwise are asked to delete them. Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize or donation, it is a scam.
