I received this email:


Writing from Hospital
Donation
I am Mrs Brenda Kennedy undergoing medical treatment in hospital. Recently, My Doctor told me that I may not last for the next seven months due to cancer problem, though what disturbs me most is my stroke and deaf problem. Haven known my condition I decided to Serve God with our wealth.I'm a widow and a servant of the Lord for the past 38 years

When my late husband was alive we kept the sum of $800,000 USD (Eight hundred thousand US dollars) I have decided to Give out this fund to a church or an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an individual that will use this fund to provide succour to the poor, an indigent person to help orphanages, widows around him or her and Schools etc.

Hope to receive your reply soon.
Thanks and Remain Blessed.
Mrs Brenda Kennedy.

Scam. How to reduce the number of these emails--
Spam filters
Have a second email account that you use only for "please make a user account" things that don't really matter. And then never check that box unless you absolutely most.

Haha! We have a friend who has been waiting for almost a decade!!
You may know that after Chiang Kai-shek time..millions $$$ were found..by "someone".. When needs to be donated to Christians.
There are a few hundred $$ that are needed for 'processing frees'
If you can prove that you can use it wisely....it is yours...just apply.
Address included.

He did...and he is still waiting...He is also seriously praying for its release.

My old mum would say .. "Some mother have 'em " :rolleyes:

As you know I do a lot of photography.
I received a letter from "Facebook", on a "Facebook" letterhead.
From California.

They wanted to buy the copyrights on one of my photos.
I said : "Sure......it's $2000 dollars" (Hahaha)

Next they send me a "Release Form", asking for my signature.
I put a "crazy" signature on it, of course not my own signature. (Just something I came up with......)
Send that form back to them.

Next thing I got a request in the mail asking for my banking info, such as name of bank and account number
because they said they were gong to make a "direct" deposit.

So, here's the thing:

They got my name. (From Facebook)
They got my signature. (Not my real one)
And if I would have given them the bank info, they could have made a "withdraw" (using my signature) and not a deposit.

Haha, needless to say I shipped all the paperwork to Facebook.

Never heard anything back.
