I was chosen to get a Bhargava Grant.

Got me an email:

"In poverty, sustain yourself. In prosperity, help others".

You have been chosen to benefit from my giving pledge.

Reply for further information.

Manoj Bhargava
Bhargava Foundation"

Why, Oh why, is everybody just throwing money at me?

There is a website for the "Foundation". Apparently this Indian billionaire is giving away his money, so his son won't be corrupted by the extreme wealth. Anybody heard of this. Yeah, I think it's scam.

They'll be needing your bank account number so they can deposit the money

The Bhargava Foundation does exist, started by the founder of that "5-hour Energy" stuff you see at check-outs. Bhargava is a BIG philanthropist, but why he'd be sending out emails is anybody's guess. Probably someone who's scammed onto the operation.

He wants his bank acct number so he can empty it.
