    Default Private Message from someone in Sierra Leone


    I got a PM in my inbox from "suzy" from Sierra Leone talking about some money...blah blah blah...the usual scam. I just wanted to make the site aware of it.

    Here's the first half of the message. I won't post all of it on the off chance that someone might fall for it:

    "Dear Madam/Sir
    I am Madam Suzan James of Sierra Leone. I am married to Mr James Momo for which worked with the marine forces Sierra Leone during Ten years before he die in 2003. We were married up to ten years without child. He died after a short disease which lasted only four days. Before its death we were both true Christian. With its death that I decided not to remarrie for me to obtain a child endehors of my matrimonial house thing which the bible defends. When my husband is alive, it deposited the sum of (7.5 Million $ American )(seven millions five hundred and thousand Dollars American) in a bank of Abidjan ici Ivory Coast.
    Currently, this money is with the bank. Recently, my doctor informed me owing to the fact that I would suffer from a serious disease: cancer. The evil which disturbs me more is hypertension. After having known my state I decided to give this funds to a church or with a person who will use this money such as I would inform it. I thus seek a church or one nobody of confidence which will put these funds at the services of the orphanages, widows, thus propagating the word of God and to make so that the work of God is maintained. The bible declares that the blessed is the hand that givets. ..."

    I can't believe someone would use the Bible and Christianity to scam someone...
