Beware Of This Email Scam

Me again folks, with another (hopefully) very important scam alert post. John, from Blacon, has been as busy as ever. Thanks John. He has sent me a message advising us to beware of this email scam. I’ll show the message in full below. But reading it, is very similar to so many that so many of us receive. Apparently, there have been quite a few taken in by this particular email. Have a read anyway, and spread the word if you can.

As I say, this is so similar to so many I’ve received over the years. I’m sure many of you have as well. Just a general word on this, if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true. Somebody, a total stranger ‘somebody’ offering you a shedload of money for doing very little. Really? Beware of this email scam folks and any other such similar emails.

Here’s the email message in full:

Beware Of This Email Scam

Thanks again John for the heads up……

“My Beloved in Christ, I am Mrs. Maureen Greaves, married to Late Alan Greaves (PhD} who worked with ( Total S.A.) the French Multinational Integrated Oil and Gas Company and one of the five “Super major” oil companies in the world as their Africa drilling rig supplier for 17 years before his death On Christmas Eve 2013.

Before his death we were both devout born again Christian; lay-preacher and former social worker and my late husband Alan Greaves; was an organist at the church for 40 years, before his was attacked and beaten with a pickaxes on his way to play at Midnight Mass at St Saviors Church in Sheffield and he died in hospital three days later as you can confirm this link as stated below: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2529286/A-year-murder-organists-widow-breaks-vigil.html.

A year after his murder, organist Alan Graves’ widow . www.dailymail.co.uk The widow of a church organist fatally injured on Christmas Eve last year played a leading role in an emotional candlelit service at the spot where he was attacked . http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-25417344.

Here’s The Mention Of Money

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($15.5M) with a bank in Cotonou Benin where he worked for 17 years last as the (TotalS.A.) Africa drilling rig supplier. I am contacting you because of the recent report from my Doctor told me that I have some weeks to live due to cardiac and kidney failure problem, having known my condition, I seek your concept and permission to present you to the bank as as my late husband foreign investors to retrieve the fund and utilize for establishing an orphanages home for the poor and needy, and also propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

I shall give you the full detail documents of the fund as soon as I hear from you. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another good person for this same purpose.

Hoping to receive your response immediately; Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord. I Remain yours sister in Christ. Mrs. Maureen A. Greaves (Church Army evangelist).” Warning! The above quoted text is a scam letter. Never respond to such emails should you ever receive one.”

Beware Of This Email Scam – Only The Names Change

This type of email is so typical of so many we have received over the years. In essence, the scam’s the same and only the names change. I’m sure many of you see right through these messages and cried for help. But, as mentioned, and as it would appear, this one in particular has bitten some people.

So, to repeat the message again – beware of this email scam. It’s a fake.

Stay safe everyone.
