Dear Beloved in Christ.
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known
thetruth, 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 & is
Mercies and glory upon my life.I am Mrs.Sarah Baxter, the wife of Mr ricky
Baxter, my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Jordan for twenty
years before he died in the year 2005.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 and 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 US$7.5 Million.(Seven Million
Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) 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
beneficairy 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 thisaccount) as I
can not come over.Presently,I'm in a hospital in Jordan where I have
been undergoingtreatment 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 anywhere in the World.Please, I beg you in the name of God to
help me Stand-in as thebeneficiary and collect the Funds from the
Bank.I want a person that isGod-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.With God all things are possible.If
you are interested in help me fullfill this dream, you can email tomy

SCAMA-LAMA-DING-DONG! ! !LMFAO! ! ! THE CLASSIC ********* RIP-OFF! ! ! !

You know it's a SCAM because it follows the pattern of many other scam letters. Why would someone you don't even know contact you with this offer? What type of God fearing person would contact a stranger on the Internet with such an offer when they could easily contact an established ministry and make arrangements for the use of their money?

I saw an expose of this type of scam on television where good hearted Christians were sucked in by scam artists from Africa who hang out in Internet cafes and send out these span letters all day long until they finally hook a sucker fish and start reeling them in.

I've gotten quite a few of those types of letters and sometimes I send them back some Scripture telling them that all liars are going to be tossed into the Lake of Fire or something like that.

This is a scam.

One easy way to identify a hoax or scam is to use a search engine like Google to look for the keyword "hoax" followed by some keywords from the email. In this case I looked for "hoax Dear Beloved in Christ". Usually the results show a few credible sites that explain why it's a hoax.

There are a number of web sites that post investigations of these hoaxes.

Oprah recently did a show about scam artists and had this very one on. If you go to her website and look up her back shows, I know it must have been in the last 2 or 3 weeks, you'll find it. I wouldn't have known it either, if I hadn't seen this very one on the show. You will be asked for money in order to transfer the funds. As a general rule anytime a stranger wants you to hand them some money, it's a scam. Hold on to your money no matter what. Forget the sob story. You'll be better off. And try to get their information to report them. Above all, don't give them your personal information.

Pretty much any unsolicited email such as this will be a scam. If you want to be sure, check it out at snopes.com. Input a small part of the subject line into the search engine. Usually, if you've gotten the message, so have 1,000,000 others!! I alsways check out stuff at snaopes. Last thing I checked out was an email from my sister warning me that I could get a nasty disease, including worms in my breasts from unwashed undergarments-untrue as checked by snopes.

Sweets, that's what is known as a 419 scam as that is the chapter of Nigerian law that it violates. These days those letters come from all over the world and all they want is your money.

Some people enjoy baiting the scambaiters. I wouldn't recommend anyone doing this but the results ARE comical. www.419eater.com

Because anyone who had such access to riches would also be acquainted with someone where they lived to help them. If they were honest, they wouldn't be e-mailing someone they didn't know, who didn't know them. Greed is what gets most people ripped off. Scary how many people who would slander GOD'S name and risk losing their immortal soul for money, isn't it? There is no free lunch.

I get these all the time. It is a scam. I get them from England and Africa. If you have to pay any money at all, it is a scam. I guarantee you money will come up for lawyers fees.

Look up the NIgerian scam. It's very similar. It's called 409 or something.
