Yesterday (06.01.2026) a high number of emails about a free piano were sent to RWTH Aachen email accounts.

This is most likely a scam attempt using old pictures. Please consider the possible risks before engaging with the supposed donor, especially if you are asked to transfer any money to cover e.g. delivery fees.

The different email subjects were as follows:

"KOSTENLOSE SPENDE EINES YAMAHA-FLUGELS.!!!"
"BABY PIANO SPENDE AN EIN LIEBEVOLLES ZUHAUSE.!!!"
"GROSSZÜGIGE KLAVIERSPENDE!!!"
"WOHLTATIGE SPENDE EINES YAMAHA-FLUGELS.!!!"
