hello people iam sure lots of people have received emails where someone was banned from a country or just died tracially but left some millions of dollars in a bank! I know its a scam and i received a quite a few of them. But the last one i received made me really angry b'cos she actually used christianity and the name of Jesus. This time it was a lady who lost a husband and daughter and she is a 'born-again' christian and the husband left 7.5 million dollars in his account which she wants to give to people to start charity etc. Gosh i was so angry that i actually replied to her! i said please keep the money and DONT misuse the name of Jesus....have you received anything like this and how have you reacted?

A couple of emails I received from UK Hospital Admin saying that some one is dying and he has written a will in my name!! How nice this world is. Great. Now-a-days I can smell these kinds of emails and before opening it is deleted. A few months back, it was costa rican and nigerians who were indulging in such acts.

Hi Ano,
I do receive some emails of this kind, i bother not to read it, simply i will delete and mark it as a spam.But the recent mail i received was that i have won a lottery and it claimed that i have won some 84 million pounds, and tried to work it out in Indian rupees 'n got every calculation wrong, frustrated of finding exact amount and so i deleted.LOL

These emails are indeed, very frustrating and it's disgusting that they intentionally play on your emotions. Don't be surprised if you don't hear from this lady. It's probably just a scam scheme and there's really no lady, no daughter and no 7.5 million dollars in a bank in Africa. Best thing to do is just drop the email in your spam folder and forget about it.

I think I get thirty of these emails during one month and a lot more fraud emails and 90 percent of my emails are unwanted advertizing. Funny thing is some real mails for me I fish out of the spam box of the provider. It is just a crazy world. I ignore it.
For these fraudulent people who send these mails nothing is holy not even Jesus, because if Jesus was Holy for them, they would not send such mails.

i agree with you...if they had a relationship with Jesus they would not be doing such things in the first place :) but after receiving all kinds of reasons this one sounded like the heights of insensvity :)
