I've had a direct message today from this user (in title) and I suspect its been sent to multiple people so making you aware. The link is legit and takes you to a BBC article on some lotto winners who have gifted money but obviously scammer is using this under false pretenses to con people.

Content of msg:

Congratulations On behalf of me and my family, we have decided to donate £ 2,500.000.00 to few members of Health Unlocked, we just felt its very important to stretch hands to STRANGERS because its not easy struggling with health and at the same time taking care of loved ones.

Contact us for more info on (francesconnolly887@hotmail.com )

*I have reported this on here. Just sharing FYI.

Thank you for this,I received this message and was looking for others who have received it, to confirm it's a scam. I'm reporting it now. I was 99.9% sure it's a scam, I just did not expect it on this platform.
