And the latest example of such a scam is an e-mail allegedly seeking financial aid for Randy McCloy Jr., the sole survivor of the West Virginia mine explosion that killed 12, according to CNN, who is citing FBI sources.
"The e-mail falsely claims to be authored by a physician at the hospital where the survivor is currently receiving medical attention. It describes the condition of the survivor and the financial assistance that is needed for a full recovery," the FBI said in a written statement.
McCloy, 26, is in critical condition at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia.
The e-mail purports to be written by a doctor at the hospital where the miner is being treated and describes the condition of the survivor and the financial assistance that is needed for a full recovery.
