I also was contacted. However, over the summer months, I was actually in contact with " diplomats " that had escorted a package which was $1, 400, 000.00 IN CASH. I was to western union $2, 500 to NewYork to pay for international fees to receive my package. When I told them to take it out of my "package" and just bring me the change, they finanlly stopped calling. I was also doing searches online for grants to upgrade my home for my nephew who has several physical disabilities. these people should be hung~n~strung! They are parasites that need bleached out of our society. LETS SUE! I have enclosed a copy of my instructions to collect my current 2 million.

I rec'd the same email about a week ago. I was about to send the $360.00 when I was advise by a friend that when she rec'd grant money she did not have to pay a dime for it. The person ssending you the funds is responsible for all the insurance and whatever else needs to take place so that you can rec;d the funds that are going to be given to you. She has rec'd grant money before and said that it does not come easy to get and they usually phone you over the phone or send you something in the mail first to notify you and it is not in the millions but more like $5, 000. Just wanted to pass this information on. Thanks you have save me from SCAMMED

Just to let everyone out there know I am a mother of two who has a disabled child. I was looking for a grant to start a non-profit organization to raise awareness about the blood disorder crippling my child. A few days ago I received the same e-mail. Money isn't just going to fall into our laps we have to work hard for it. Writing grant letters and appeals to those grant letters. People are struggling and everyone knows it...Don't take this the wrong way but if your tough you'll get going right about now. 95% of offers sent to you are scams believe it!

I also received this award notification, and the Royal Dutch Shell Corporation does have an award, but it is not chosen by e-mails. It is chosen at random by a charitable organization in the U.K. I also believe that they should find who is doing this and stop them from ruining the award.This is just my personal belief on this matter.

I too, lit up a bit with the same notification of being selected as a recepient of two million dollars just for having an email address. The grant from, you guessed it...Royal Dutch Shell International Grant Award...If they can offer to send me that much money, they could surely deduct the cost of sending me the grant...If fact, they could keep a couple of thousand just for their time and trouble. Its a shame that people like that are allowed to breathe the same air as the rest of us.
good luck to all of you, and one day the tide may turn and your ship may come in.

If this award is real I would love to have it as I am a student and a teacher who would like a little monetary assistance, why say no to a good offer if it is a real Grant from Royal Dutch Shell International Grant Award.

I have also received a similar e-mail few days back and since I am a student and teacher and had been applying for assistance and grants actually got excited that I have been given the grant. This is an emotional and disturbing thing and the culprits should be caught and the victims like us be given justice and compensated by the government of Nigeria for their citizens misusing my name as my name was even printed on the cheque inthe amount of U.S $2 Million. Coudl you please clear this and compensate me for your citizen using my name without my knowledge.

I want to be legally compensated by Shell International Grant Award committee for some one from their company misusing my name using on the Shell International Grant check.

Ok well Here is your answers. To all who actually replied to this stupid email: This is the original and let me just say I can't believe that anyone would reply to this: The places where you are looking for grants are giving your information out! They are skeeming off people who need money and are willing to take a chance to get it. So they dont' care if they take the last dollar you have why: BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING IT!

And as far as a Lawsuite goes you can forget it! This company probably has nothing to do with this scam at all infact they probably don't even know it's happening. They put the name of a trillion dollar company that is legit so people will be more gulable and then instead of contacting the UK your cantacting AFRICA! HELLO! Come on people smarten up please! Don;t respond to this crap! Atleast LOOK it up before you go sending information about yourself! ANY INFO! Ohh yes and why don't they take the money from the 2 mill heres the answer to that: The insurance and shipping your paying for will either be billed to a credit card or bank account right: you give info to either anything you have in either account will be gone and never will be seen again I can promise you that and nothing will be done about it!

I 'm tired of this mess ... whatever we need to do to get it stopped, let's do it. I was online a few months ago looking into different grant options to start a business an a few wks later I got this message. I thought about all the people who said "'I'll do whatever I can to help" and they never do. So it was at that moment I started thinking why would this BILLION DOLLAR company help lil ol me instead of someone else. If there is n e thuth to this, I WANT(NEED)MY MONEY ------WITHOUT PAYING THE OUT OF POCKET INS. COST!
