A colleague at <em>The Observer</em> this morning received two emails purporting to grant a $900,000 George Soros Empowerment Award to the recipient. The humorous text of the email follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>GEORGE SOROS FOUNDATION AWARD.<br />Leeds West End London.<br />United Kingdom.</p>
<p>Dear Beloved,</p>
<p>You have been selected/qualify for Grant sum of $900.000.00 payment <br />for human growth,Business, and community Development in the ongoing <br />GEORGE SOROS Empowerment Award established in 1983 and supported by <br />EBID WORLDWIDE.</p>
<p>Your e-mail address attached to Grant number: 2241345678 which <br />subsequently won you the Grant Payment in the 2nd category.<br />For security reasons, you are advised to keep your Grant Number <br />confidential till your payment is processed and your money remitted to <br />you in whatever manner you are fit to claim your Grant Prize . This is <br />part of our precautionary measure to avoid double claiming and <br />unwarranted abuse of this program. Please be warned.</p>
<p>Please contact our Secretary with the below information:</p>
<p>Full Names:<br />Address:<br />Tel No:<br />Country:<br />State:<br />Occupation:</p>
<p>Secretary,<br />Mrs. Lilly Botha.<br />Congratulation Once Again.<br />GEORGE SOROS HUMAN EMPOWERMENT AWARD MANAGEMENT.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>The Observer</em> has reached out to the <a href="http://www.soros.org/">Open Society Institute</a> and Soros Foundations Network to see if the email is indeed a scam. We'll update when we hear back.</p>
