Absolutely - NO WAY!!!!! This is a SCAM- DO NOT and I repeat - DO NOT , because if you do you stand to lose everything you've got. Most of these sad sob stories come from Nigeria. They have been targeted by authorities around the world. INTERPOL has them high on their list. Many, many people in Australia have been scammed by these parasits. Quite a few of these low life have now been bought to justice. Unless you can check out the credability of this person and that would be difficult to achieve I will repeat once again - DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING ! Report them to the autorities immediately. He maybe in the UK, BUT I would wager everything that I own his connections are Nigerian based!

NOOOOO, scam scam scam even if you think you trust the guy don't do it rather go to the churches yourself and donate. There are people in the world who if they notice you easy target to get money out of you will try to convince you to give them money some way or another. If it's someone you have met on line and you close to each other at some point will ask to donate money and you might get it back. Please be sure I have listed a few websites I don't know what situation you are in but I have added this

Absolutly not.
My aunt got scammed on the internet that way and lost a lot of money. And this just happend recently.
That is a very dumb thing to do. You never know who you could be dealing with.
I think you should tell your parents about this. He may be talking about god and everything but really he just wants to fall for his tricks. I can't even believe someone would believe these crazy stories.

...........so what does this stranger's sickness have to do with churches and organisations for GOD? Has he declared that by offering GOD money he will no longer be sick?
I would advise you to obtain as much money from the sale of your Home and Car....possibly selling your children to a Celebrity and to give all the proceeds to this stranger......
.........WHAT?
If you're having to ask this question because you believe in some of the content of what this stranger tells you.....................

NEVER EVER!
Did you contact the person first? (I doubt it)
We have a web site and our address is out there all over the place.
I am an American Pastor in the Philippines and even we don't contact people asking for money.
But we get all kinds of emails asking us for money and offering to send millions of dollars (direct deposit) into our bank account (which we don't have one).
REMEMBER YOU GIVE THEM YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER TO (SEND YOU MONEY) THEY CAN ALSO PULL YOUR MONEY OUT.
I don't know what type if any orginization you have or what type of help you give, but if you have to ask that question on here YOU ARE NOT SET UP TO HANDLE SCAMS.

I strongly recommend that you do not just give out your personal information like that. There are many people out there who are trying to scam people of money and they will STOP at nothing. However if you believe that this person may be telling the truth (or not) you should find ways to keep questioning him while conducting your research to validate how honest he is.

No most of the information you give out like that gives them access to much your persnal information, you make wake up wondering where your money is going. And why you bill collectors trying to contact you for no apparent reason.

please don't...a friend of mine just turned a person online in to the fbi for an online scheme that was actually international, and if he had not questioned it enough to figure it out he could have become involved in an illegal money laundering scam. if the guy, who was from the uk, by the way, finally gets busted...and he will now i think....my friend won't be involved and get busted too.
it's very risky to give anyone your name, address or phone...anything personal, so please don't

You should probably find out his details first if you're going to give him yours.
It may just be me, but it seems a bit weird. I mean if he's that sick he can't transfer money by phone banking, How is it he can ask you your name and details?
also any chance of your name and number, it's for a good cause?
LOL

If he's so sick then why isn't he putting his money towards his medical needs instead of church?? You should not give him your address its too dangerouse.
