Scamming using God...not smart
Sat, 2007/09/08 - 04:32This was the email I received. I think that a person like this should be very cautious using the Lord's name this way, it is more dangerous then the fraud itself!
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His
Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Mary Parker,the wife of Mr.Robert Parker,both of us are citizens of the united state of America. my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year 2003.We
were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a
Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the
funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia
where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help
me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure
that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives
are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be
in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14: says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of
my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds transferred before my Death.
Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to conclude this,Remain Blessed.
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Mary Parker.

THE SECOND EMAIL...
Dear Beloved,
I am most grateful for your mail,and I seize this opportunity to thank you for coming to my rescue. However,I crave your indulgence to kindly attend to this in good faith as everything is Legal and the funds belongs to my Late husband whom before his death was always helping Charitable organisation,Churches and NGO in the world.
I hope you were not too embarrassed by my first email to you since you do not know me. I had no option since the family of my husband in and outside Russia refused to distribute my husband funds because they wanted to keep it to themselves. I don't really know how to move the funds out and dispatched it to charity organizations, so I resulted to putting fate to test and making a random contact.
I got your email address from a private search which i did on the internet.I am communicating with only you at this moment with regards to this transaction. And I would not have any cause to do otherwise, except you state your intention to withdraw your assistance.Just like I stated in my first mail to you,this fund is presently with a bank in united kingdom (UK) and they would be able to tranfer the funds to you immediately if you adhere strictly to their directive.
I cannot distribute these funds myself because of the following reasons:
(1) I am undergoing medical treatment and It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts diagnosis.
(2) I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give help to charity organizations,churches and NGO, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth before my death. It is for this reasons I am seeking for your assistance to stand as the beneficiary to the fund and retrieve it on my behalf and dispatched it to charity organizations.I will be sending to you some names of these
organizations too. All the necessary documents required to get the Funds out of the bank are with me.
However,before I proceed further in giving you the Bank contact, I want you to give me your words that you will be very honest and straight forward with me when the money gets to you and also,that you will be able to execute this Project successfully and help me dispatched it to charity organizations.As this is MY LAST WISH BEFORE MY DEATH TO SEE ME CONCLUDE THIS.
Thus,I would want you to get back to me on the following issues if you are ready to assist me:
(1) That you are in a position to be trusted as a God fearing person with such a large amount of fund been entrusted to you. Also, that you will dispatched it to charity organization and churches as I wanted it.
(2) That you are willing to contact the Bank company to discuss the terms of releasing the funds.
As soon as I receive your reply that you are ready to proceed under these terms, then I will furnish you with all details including the company. But if you have any questions to ask me, please ask and I will be more than happy to respond to them immediately.
I will be sending to you all the necessary documentations to conclude this Project.
Looking forward for your reply.
Remain bless.
Mrs.Rita Gilbert
THE THIRD EMAIL...
Dear Beloved
Blessings to you beloved. Your words in your response have given me great Joy this is a good work of charity project I have placed in your hands. My dear I will only say to you with reason of my throat cancer I am unable to speak but all I want is that the money is first safe in your account before I meet the Lord so that it can be used for the intended purpose.
I have told you in confidence that I want the project to be kept very secret and details of my contact with you should not be disclosed to anybody and this is because my husband's family might want to do everything to gain possession of this money for their own selfish interest.
My dear the bank in possession of the money is in Europe, the money can be transferred to your account electronically once you activate the DORMANT ACCOUNT and I need the following details below to send LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION to the bank in Europe that you are now the sole beneficiary see below:
NAME IN FULL:
CONTACT ADDRESS:
COUNTRY:
TEL:
FAX:
OCCUPATION:
I want you to know now that if the project does not take place it will be your fault as I have done all in my power to see that everything works in the manner that we have discussed.
My dear, I want you to have faith and pray always knowing the task ahead and the bold step I have taken to give you this money, I need you to always stay focused and follow instructions, there is need for prayers as obstacles will arise but all that stand against the success of this transfer and the project proper will fall.
Let me rest and leave you to pray and build your mind towards the task ahead and also always be in contact with me. It is very important that you complete this project in good faith even if I join my husband before time and always know your share of the funds is 20% and the balance must be used for the project proper which is 80% dispatching it to the list of the charity organisation that i'll be sending to you.

Wed, 2007/10/10 - 09:19God is so merciful that he leaves sinners to repent and work out their Salvation.

Third Mail:
Dear Beloved
How are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family? In respect of your mail, I am Mrs. Rose Ibrahim the wife of late Mr. El. Ibrahim , who worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years, before my husband died in the year 2003.I do took care of my elder sister who is a widow and my other brothers when my Husband was alive,
I started losing confident in them when I lost my cousin who happens to be my personal assistant Aliu, the course of his brutal murder in a cold blood could not be traced as they new he was my only trust.
I and my husband then decided to lunch a charity in his name to donate to some parts of the world, like Bulgaria, Pakistan and some other poor nations where children and mothers are suffering, we made our family members to do this for us as to our greatest surprise they distributed the funds to them selves and never donated any to the charities.
In 2005 it was later found out that the murderer of John where my brothers whom I own loyalty to in life as they where supposed to.
After my Husband death in 2003, they started using my sisters against me as my only source of joy now has been taken away.
I felt sick in 2006 July I can still remember this vividly, since I have been diagnosed I have to
go far from my home, because I don't want to be living with people who do not show any care about me because I refuse giving them my late Husband last funds on Earth.
I have to live for the hospital here in Russia where I have been on my sick bed for some months am only been moved from bed with a troy by a bed assistant attached to me Miss Trish, its a Christian dom. hospital where a pastor comes in and pray with me every morning.
I want you to keep this tight, as I don’t want any link with my family members to know about this. it took me a whole day to write you this mail as I am very weak now.
Remain Blessed
Your Beloved Sister .
