Pilgway spam email.......or not ?

[MarkC]

As much as I feel for the people in Ukraine and what they are going through, I am receiving a LOT of emails (2 a day) from 'Pilgway' with a link to donate funds.

Is anyone else getting these, and is it legitimate, or your typical 'give us your bank details' scam......?

Yes, we have sent these emails.

They have link to Special Account to Raise Funds for Ukraine’s Armed Forces

I checked my email and yes, there are two emails from Pilgway, but that is all. It is probably a mistake of some kind, where it was sent twice by accident. They are not soliciting donations for themselves in anyway at all, but a link at the end of the email, to where people could help most directly, if they wanted to do something to assist Ukraine in this heroic effort.

I was glad to see the link. To help Ukraine right now with some insight in how from you guys was most welcome.

Hang-on there! What is happening is heartbreaking. I never thought this could go that far.
I am very sad for people of Ukraine, very sad to see the World going back to cold war because
of a mad man.
To be frank, I can't send money that would be used to buy weapons. But I would send money
to buy other supplies like I did after the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima.
I hope Pilgway staff is OK and safe.
Thinking of you.

To @Garagarape if you wish you also may chose Humanitarian aid to Ukraine for donation.
