Deception
I just received this email in my Gmail account:
From Mrs Susan Morgan
N�[38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire
ATTNDEAREST ONE OF GOD I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Abram Morgan, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2004. 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 Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account. Presently, the fund is still with the bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour 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 efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.
I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom 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 hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is 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 here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. 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.
Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information’s, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs susan morgan
So, When you receive this type of email... do you contact the fraud department of the FBI or something? Where would a dying woman in Kuwait have gotten my email address and why on earth would she not just donate the money to a Christian Church in Kuwait instead of trying to give away 2.5 million dollars to some random American that she doesn't know??? What I don't understand is how could someone possibly believe that this crap is for real?
I worked with a girl when I was temping that had previously had a warrant out for her arrest because she was working for a money laundering scheme and "didn't know it". She claims she had no idea. This Canadian company would send her checks and she was to have them transferred into the US dollar and then send a portion of it back. HELLO! Why would they need US money in Canada and if they did why didn't they just have it converted there, I mean they CAN do that can't they?
Then there was this girl that lived with my sister and received an email for her services as a nanny from a man in Africa. This man wanted her to move to India to be a nanny for his children while he and his wife were being missionaries in Africa. He told her he would send her the first paycheck in the mail and that it would be over the amount they would be paying her and she had to cash it and send back the overage portion. This girl truly believed that this was a really awesome opportunity for her to make loads of money and get to see the world. RIGHT. How freaking stupid can you be? The dude sent the check to her and Amber told her that she should take it to the Feds. The girl didn't believe her and said no that she wanted to cash it and do what the man had asked. A few days or maybe weeks later she still hadn't cashed the check so they guy freaking CALLED her at her apartment and tried to talk to her about how important it was for her to cash that check otherwise she needed to send it back to him and he would find someone else to do it. I think about this time things finally settled into her brain that it wasn't real or he wouldn't have been so insistent and rude about the whole ordeal so she agreed to call the feds. They told them that there was nothing they could do except send in the check to them and forward the emails to an address so the feds could look into it. The feds also told them that there are SO many of these scams going on right now that the chances of them catching this guy were slim to none.
So, let me share a secret with you: If it sounds too good to be true... IT IS! oh wait, that's not so secret after all. My question here is, do I just hit delete on this one? Or do I forward this information on to the Feds?

I'd just delete it... But that's what I do with all my junk mail.
