The following is posted on the IKEA website :
In recent weeks fraudulent* emails, in English, are spreading around the internet supposedly mailed by the Stitching INGKA Foundation. Please take note that these emails are fake and have nothing to do with Stichting INGKA foundation or IKEA. IKEA strongly recommends that respondents do not answer the emails as they are requesting money.
I hope nobody was taken in by this transparent scam - no charitable foundation in the world gives out money in this haphazard way!
Apparently not unless you are a business and you have the same objectives as the Ingka Foundation (the company that owns Ikea), you will not be able to buy shares, that's at least what I read. Just in case I got it wrong you can go to this website. I wanted to buy shares as well however it seems you're going to have a hard time.
