Venditoris: Beware of Scams

Here’s YANL, this time with the most heart wrenching message to me a good, born again Christian (I am not, nor is the email addressed to me -shows an openness and willingness to broaden the range of possible suckers willing to respond.)

They must be suffering a loss of monied suckers and have to resport to bigger anonymous lists..YES! the infor is getting out and fewer and fewer suckers can be found. After all this type of letter has been around for more than 20 years now.

Subject:DEAR Beloved,

DEAR Beloved,

I’m Victoria Taylor

PLEASE ENDEAVOR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am the above
named person. I am married to Dr. Donald Taylor A LIBERIAN but I?m now

in Nigerian General HOSPITAL taking treatment for my sickness, who
worked with U.S embassy in LIBERIAN for nine years before he died in
the year 2000. We were married for twenty years without a child, my
husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I

decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home
because of the love both of us share.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$8.5 Million
(Eight Million five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with A Bank
Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the Reserve
SECURITY COMPANY Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for

the next five months due to my cancer problems.

Though what disturbs me most is my stroke .Having known my condition,
I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian or

muslim individual That will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in. I want a church or individual that will use this
fund on, 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 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 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 because of

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 forward your personal information,
such as your full name, your full address, with telephone and fax
number to my lawyer so that he will contact you as the legal owner of
my fund before the bank will be transferring the fund into your
nominated Bank Account in your country.

I will also issue you a letter of a authority that will back you up as

the real next of kin and the original- beneficiary of my fund. I want
you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd,you will also promise me that you will not seat on the fund
when it gets into your bank account. 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, any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for
a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure
me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear
from you as soon as possible.

Remain blessed.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs Victoria Taylor

Do these letter writers have no shame?

Now they prey, not pray, on Christians!

I guess it’s an equal “scamatunity” world. People with no scruples have been using religion as an excuse for all sorts of evil for centuries.
