Email Fraud Alert received from: Oregan
I recently received an email with this subject line: HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND and I am concerned that it could be an attempt at defrauding me. Let me know in the comments section what you think, please.
The full contents of the suspected fraudulent (phishing / scamming) e-mail appear below:
My Dear Friend , I want you to note
that i don’t know you and i don’t even know who you are or
where you come from but the Lord whom i serve is so loving
and helpful as he never forget his own people i want you to
know that i have been thinking of what to do over this funds
for some period of years now simply because i know that the
money is of no use to me any longer simply because of the
stage at which my cancer has gotten. I am a very prayerful
person and it was when i was praying sometimes ago that the
Lord revealed to me i don’t know if i should call it a dream
or a vision i was told that i should go into the world and
bless the world with what the almighty God has used in
blessing i and my late husband.
The vision seems so terrific and i was so bothered that i
had a day fasting and prayer over it and someone in my
church then interpret the meaning of my dreams to me telling
me that i am having something which is in need in the world
and he want me to use it to bless the world and the person
asked me to think very well because it is the voice of the
Lord that has spoken to me and all that. I searched myself
very well and i get to remember that i am having the fund
which i and my husband had labored for so many years and i
contacted the security company as the beneficiary of the
funds and i was confirmed the owner of the funds and am
asked to come around and get it exactly when am ready to but
i should made awareness of when i will be coming so that
proper arrangement would be made then but it is a pity i
cant go which you know.
I had another dream which made me realize that i must not
be in possession of the money and i should go into the world
and look for someone in the world to distribute the funds in
a Godly manner. So i decided to search with the name related
to a woman who took very good care of me when i was dump by
my runaway parents. i was brought up in a motherless baby
home and so i told my nurse to help me get an Internet
account after that i decided to search i got about 1065
profiles and i prayed over it and you know whats funny ?
among all the profiles i chose it was yours that the Lord
has chosen to distribute this funds as a sacrifice from the
lord to the world. It is a means of you been committed to
the Lord and this will make you move closer to him as well
and i am very sure that he must certainly have a reason why
he want you to do this on his behalf please be strong and
have faith in yourself and in me and make me realize that
you will do it just because i know you can do it and i see
you doing it right among everyone else…. Hope i read from
you soonest and please make sure that you never forget me in
your prayers kindly get back to me thanks and God bless you
and your household make a prayer over it and you will smell
it around you the Lord will not come down to call his own
people he will send someone to you now he has sent me to
you. God bless you abundantly……….in his
riches………………Amen
