Scam alert

[Christina]

Anyone receiving a PM or E-mail from "fatimatbarak "Do not replythis is a scam they following is a PM I received. DO NOT FALL FOR IT AND DO NOT CLICK THE LINK>>>>> ..............................................................................SISTER FATIMAT BARAK Dearest one in the lord , I am Mrs fatimat barak, a Kuwait national .I am married to late Mr james barak, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in IVORY COAST for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2006,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter (lilian)who later died in a motor accident.Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$2.8 M (two Million,Eight hundred Thousand UNITED STATES Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in ABIDJAN IVORY COAST Presently,this money is still with the bank. Recently, Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) or a God fearing one that will utillise this money the way I am going to instruct herein, according to the desire of my late husband before his death.I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like, Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth". I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the Church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me on this e-mail address [email protected]any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another God fearing person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs. Fatimat

I also want to caution people about clicking on links in general. Some sites have viruses on them and whenever someone posts a link, I "yahoo" it first and see what comes up in the search engine. Yahoo now has a feature where they scan for viruses first. It may not be 100% reliable, but it gives one more of a fightin' chance.Such was the case of recent link posted here in the political forum. There was nothing about it anywhere, so I assumed it could have been a newly created web site with possible malware. Anyone with an avatar like his would not surprise me if this would happen and a few screws were loose. thankfully, that thread was removed.I don't know why sites with discovered malware aren't just pulled--- no questions asked---- if they know this. The exceptions would be international sites or some sicko hosting it himself. But rest assured that anyone within the United States probably aren't hosting their own. Probably too cheap since they are after money. Someone has to be hosting them, and I don't know why they don't just pull the plugs on these malicious sites. It just goes to show that even some of these services don't give a hoot.
