Comment Scam Spam

Well, this is a new twist on the typical Nigerian Spam letter. Now they are specifically targetting Christians and appealing not necessarily to their greed as much as to their sense of charity and faith as a means of scamming them out of their savings. And the most amazing part is that this didn't come in my email. It came as a comment on an old post here.

From: Mrs Binta Williams.

Good Day,

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

My name is Binta Williams a nationality of Kuwait. I am married to Mr.
Kazeem Williams who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. he died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before he death we were both born again Christians.

"Please endeavor to use it for the children of God"? You people sicken me more every day. I bet little old ladies line up to help you out and never even consider keeping so much as a dime for themselves because you want to help "the children of God."

When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of$10.6Million (Ten Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one of the banks here in COTE D' IVOIRE . Presently, this money is still with the bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last 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 fund to churches, orphanages, Research centers 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 grivet.

Damn. Cancer and a stroke. That would go a long way toward explaining how poorly this letter is written. I bet it suckers innocent folks every day.

And what the hell is "grivet"?

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 family 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 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 because of the presence of my family relatives around me always. I don?t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

Oooo... Now we see we have to protect the money from the greedy relatives who would squander it all on a Mosque.

I will like you to go ahead and contact my lawyer immediately you receive this message so that he will direct you you to the Finance/bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund which is going to be done by my lawyer

Here is my lawyer's contact.
His name is Barrister Mark Gado.
Email: gadoassociates@lawyer.com
Tel: 22507 870 268.

Feel free to contact him immediately for further directives.

Of course we want these gullible Christians to contact him immediately. Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. Get them at their weakest. They think they're going to help you become the Kuwaiti Mother Theresa.

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. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act Accordingly as I stated here. Expecting to hearing from you.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs Binta Williams.

There's a place in hell waiting for people like this, all Roasty-toasty and ice water-free. I foresee no "cold days" for this one once he/she/it arrives, either.

Now pardon me while I go delete the original comment and ban this IP.
