Type of a scam Scholarship

Just a scammy email, I noticed because their address was spelled out like “. 4 forty 4” and so on. Lots of click here; click there.

Phishing. Dishonest information. “Phishy,” email post had a link that lead to a dead end.
Part of the email read, “You have met the first level of requirements to receive some of the fundings you’ll need to cover expenditures for your desired course work. These resources are typically given in annual amounts to an Account of your choosing. Again the usages is for your selected path to attain your credentials for higher development.”
Sounds fraudulent to me.
I think these are fraudulent claims to somehow compromise my email or get information from me.

Type of a scam Phishing

I have received a few emails from them, but I have not clicked on any of the links because it sounded fishy to me. I know that I don’t have a “file #” with them as they called it in this last email that I just received. It has something to do with Given Us wanting to send me “a packet” and “receiving some of the fundings to cover expenditures for my desired course work”. That’s how it was stated in the email anyways. I have never heard of this company, and the way they wrote their address is weird to me too. I came here to see if they had a ScamPulse.com rating, and it said NR. It stated that they(the BBB) had reached out to Given Us 2 or more times for background information on their business, but the company never responded.

Type of a scam Scholarship

I had been applying for many college scholarships to save money. Today on 11/19/2019 I received four emails from the scammer all about confirming my request to see an information packet. They referred to me by name and email. The email wanted me to sign up their website and add the scammer to my google contacts. Upon looking into the website it mainly focuses on horoscopes and other nonsense. I searched the business and found it on the ScamPulse.com website. There I found the phone number and address for the scam. I tried to call the phone number but I didn’t hear anything on the other end. I went to Google Maps to look at the address and it takes me to a rundown apartment complex in the middle of Seattle. I emailed the scammer back hoping to see a human response but I got a near instantaneous robot reply. I do not believe my email has been compromised but it could be. I came to report the scammer because I feel they may have contacted others.
