Spammers Are Getting More Clever

[miles lover]

This has got to be the biggest pissoff of a Tzedaka Campaign. What Chutzpah

Email header reads:

Yisroel Mazal tov! You’re the winner of Yeshiva al Kivro’s $36,000 Raffle!

Mazal tov! You’re the winner of Yeshiva al Kivro’s $36,000 Raffle! This Wednesday at 5 p..m.. EST, you could receive the news that you’re the winner! All you’ve got to do is join now, and it could be you!!!

Yep agreed. What a nerve. I immediately blocked them.

Sounds like publisher's clearing house. You can already be the winner!!!!!!

Forget about being the winner. They keep warning me that I’m going to forfeit it.

Disgusting.

It’s also גניבת דעת and thus מצוה הבאה בעבירה

Usually I ignore emails that don’t interest me. But this one gets me to vindictively slam the spam button, if we all did that these people (or whomever is sending emails on their behalf, and likely on behalf of 1000 other unsolicited senders) gets shut down.

Is this a real thing?  I thought it was a joke, like who would build a yeshiva in a cemetery?  But I see they were around last year, with a worrisome requirement to join:  Those who wish to join and be registered should contact the following email address: Y033080222@gmail.com, with the subject line: המשרה "Registration" and your ID or passport number.

And Shlomo Pinsky is seeking funds for them, but says that's not his real name:

Are these malicious thieves? Or just incompetent fund-raisers?

There is actually a kollel in the Beit Shemesh cemetary.
