A new twist to an old scam?

George Redmon · From: Muskegon & Detroit Michigan.

Thought i would take some time out and show this email. Anyone else getting this one?

I have a new email address!

You can now email me at: evangelistsamson2@yahoo.co.in

Dearest in Christ,

I am standing on Malachi 3:10 where our GOD decreed that we should bring tithes and offering to his store house, he convinced us that he will open the windows of heavens and bless us most abudantly.

I am a retired Director general of Ministry of aviation and transport and presently the managing director of Solomon consultancy firm and Solomon foundation Inc not until last two years I was practically in the world. Due largely to the counseling of my wife and by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ I confessed Jesus as my personal Lord and saviour and I became a member of DOMINION CHAPEL pillar fire ministry and the man of God Pastor Ellias counseled me for deliverance which I did for a period of 30 days, for God said in Obadiah 1:17, that upon mountain Zion there will be deliverance, after which holiness and one can posses his possessions that already I have claimed as my portion.

During my thanks giving that proceedeth prayer session in my ministry,our Lord ministered to me concerning my funds in Europe to invest it in your ministry and I proceed to posses my possessions. I related with the evangelist of my ministry and Pastors of my ministry to direct me.

Five names and ministries were nominated and we all prayed for God’s divine confirmation which he did at the third/3rd day. Already all arrangements have been concluded with the Security House in Europe for the direct payment of the funds ($10.5m) Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars to you.

All you need do is to furnish me with your full Names,Address,Telephone & Fax numbers in order to appropriate the documents with the Security Finance Company in Europe for onward payment to you. Then I will be able to confirm to you Brother in Lord the code access number to contact the Finance Company for the fund.

I thank God for his Grace upon my life and for making me to know our Lord Jesus Christ,Glory be to God.Be informed that this fund is strictly for the work of God and other investment that will Glorify God. Note, you are advise to reply at evangelistsamson1@yahoo.co.in

waiting for your urgent response.

Remain Blessed

Reminds me of an old quote...

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

Bobby D. Hunter · From: USA

George;
If you still have that email please forward to me as an attachment, as soon as possible. If you cannot send it as an attachment, open your email options and set them to display the full headers, then copy the entire message, headers and message body, and paste it into a new email and send it to me.

Thanks in advance

BTW: That is not a Greek bearing gifts, it is a Nigerian criminal bearing scams.

Nigerian scammers often use a religious ploy to fool their victims into compliance. They will say or type anything that they think will soften their intended Mark, whom they refer to as a Mugu (translates as something like "Big Fool").

The one thing that remains constant in these scams is the offer of riches deposited into your bank account if you provide the requested details and pay all the advance fees to get the money released from it's source. This is called an Advance Fee Fraud Scam, punishable under Nigerian Penal Code #419. We in the scam fighting business call it a 419 Scam.

I haven't got this one yet, but get a lot from banks I don't have accounts with.

Lately I've been getting request for my tabs asking if I take Paypal.
Well, if they read my web site they know this.
When I respond saying I do. I never hear from them again. It makes me wonder if they are just searching for my password.

Don;
If you receive any suspicious offers to pay in an unorthodox method I would appreciate it if you would forward them to me as attachments, for anaylsis. I will let you know if the offer is legit or a scam. If it is a scam I will try to block his access to the SGF.

Bobby, we all receive this kind of junk every day; in most cases I suspect it has nothing to do with being a member of the Forum (well it might, or might not, who knows?) Are you interested in receiving copies of ALL our scam mails, or only those that appear somehow to be related to the Forum membership (if we could ever tell)? If your interest is the former, it's an awfully big task. If your goal is just to stop them from accessing the Forum, well, I guess that might be more manageable a goal.

Also, by the way, does anyone ever actually catch and prosecute these people? Does the Nigerian gov't give a hoot?

Thanks for your efforts,
Jim

You don't have to look to Nigeria to find people trying to take your money in the name of the Lord. There's plenty of that going on here in the good old USA.
