This email can be broken down into sections,

The first section
I am very religous and seek another person who thinks that because I am so religous, I must tbe honest

Section 2,
Lie through the teeth and make you believe that the scammer has had loads of difficulties in life

Section 3
Have you believe that she somehow lost track of millions of dollars and now needs the help of strangers to get it back

Section 4
Convince you to send money

This type is scam is well known to us but perhaps a little different than the average scam email, of course there is one thing that is consistant, you will be encouraged to send your money and get nothing in return

Now, how do we prove it?,
To us it is obvious but if you are out there thinking that just maybe this is real as nobody would use god to help them steal then think again

At the moment searching on the email address will give us no joy so what else is there?

The script.
Ok, lets pick a section of the email, a small bit, preferably with some bad spelling or mistakes in grammar
First up, I always like searching on the opening line, saves me having to read too much and as is often the case, I was not disappointed in my findings, Click Here to see the search result on the opening line

There we have it, proven as a scam already :wink:

I could go through and point out many more reasons that it's a scam but I like to let our visitors have a go at this as well.

If anybody still has doubts and believes this is all above board, let me know and I can point out more.

Delete and forget, once again, your best course of action

Subject: DEAR BELOVED IN CHRIST

Dear Beloved in Christ.
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,having known the truth,I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & is Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs.Sarah Baxter, the wife of Mr ricky Baxter, my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Jordan for twenty years before he died in the year 2005.We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death
we both got born-again and dedicated christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is strongly against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$7.5 Million.(Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I,as the beneficiairy of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf(note that you need to activate this account) as I can not come over.
Presently,I'm in a hospital in Jordan where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World.Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness,I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure 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's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. {Exodus14 VS14}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 soundless voice and 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.
If you are interested in help me fullfill this dream,you can email to my personal email:[email protected]
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs.Sarah Baxter
