PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am Mrs Vivian from Bahrain. I am married to Dr.Andrews Amana who worked with Bahrain embassy in cote d'ivoire for nine years before he died in the year 2000.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive hedeposited the sum of (6Million U.S. Dollars)with one BANK in cote d' ivoir e.Presently, this money is still with the BANK. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would notlast for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church that will use this 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 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 hence I know where I am going. 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 health because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the BANK in ivory coast.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life. any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for a church or christian individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
It's unfortunate that they use religion a lot in their scams too.
Another thing rampant again are 'chain letters' and I'm sick and tired of these - can't understand why some of my patients and acquaintances still do this even though I try and discourage them.

I often use public shaming to stop those. Many chain emails are based on a story and it must be sent to 10 of your friends immediately. I usually go to Snopes.com, find the link that shows it's a fraud and Reply All and include the link. Otherwise I reply to the sender and ask then not to include me in email chain letters.
I never get these letters and I feel really deprived! I think they would be fun to read, before deleting. There's a guy online who actually corresponds with the scammers, leads them into thinking he's going to give them money or his bank account or whatever and even talks to them on the phone and records his conversations with them. Then he exposes them on his website. I wish I could remember what that site was, because it was pretty funny.

I did that too with a couple in Afrika, Ghana - and after a while, they stopped writing me - goody!. But it is a waste of time - especially when they claim that somebody left me money and they need to send it to me and that the next cargo plane is on it's way. Things get really stupid sometimes.
Sure glad that I will have a grandchild soon and not too bored to answer those type of mails and forward them to a phishfraud site.
P.S. Orange, that's another cute picture - thanks, I always enjoy your kitties. This one reminds me of Alice in Wonderland a little.
Love and lots of good health to you and yours, Chery
I'll never be too busy for this site though - I'm addicted now, and would miss a whole lot of you great people.
I was shocked at just how many people still get these types of emails, I use two accounts like alot of people on my main account its spam free but my public account OMG spammed to the HILL.....NK thats a super cool idear im going to give that a go on reply all with the HOAKS link....
So should these emails just be cleared or is it really worth reporting them to the arths to take action ?? Orange if you can find that website that would be cool to look at. Chery guess you will have your hands full soon.
Nez is your email going around as SPAM yet lol ??? That made me really LMFAO after reading it...
As PT Barnum said; "there's a sucker born every minute". Frankly, I have little sympathy for people who fall for these scams. There has been so much publicity about them, there is really little excuse for it. Another axiom is; if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. A lot of these scams appeal to the greed in people, another reason not to have much sympathy for them.
I see little point in reporting them though. Most use spoofed addresses and temporary ones that are nearly impossible to trace. So reporting is unlikley to result in prosecution.
The phishing scams, like Fred mentioned, are a little more understandable, but still there has been plenty of publicity about them. They are also easier to know where to report, just use the domain of the institution they claim to be from.
I've heard that this scam is the 3rd or 4th biggest money making organisation in Nigera. I don't know if that's totally acurate but that's what I've heard
Linear Mode
