PLEASE HELP ME
This sob story – I mean scam – was submitted by a reader.
I am Mrs Joy Hoffman from Netherlands,I am 68 years old,i am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the breast ,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that i can’t work or do any stressful thing, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late husband for twenty years without a child, My Husband (Micheal Hoffman) died in a fatal motor accident Before his death we were true Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $8.6million dollars with a Security Company in Madrid Spain.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long with attract a demurage fees as the security fees paid by me has expired or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confisticated.So instead of getting it confiscated i rather have someone whom i
can trust to recieve the funds and utilise it according to my wishes.And the best part of it is ,The security company told me in the letter that they can have the consignment funds delivered to my approved next of kin in his house if within Spain or transfered to his bank account and if outside Spain then transfered to his or her bank account.
Presently, I’m with my laptop in a hospital in Frankfurt Germany where I have been undergoing treatment for my sickness . I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a 2 months to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested/donated to any organisation/buisness of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization,E.g the poor homes,the motherless babies home where i came from,the deaf homes,and churces etc .All i seek for is a God fearing person like you, who will carry out my last wishes and before i emailed you today i prayed and the holy spirit gave me the confidence to send you this email.I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company in Spain. All i need from you is a confidential assurance that the funds when recieved by you will be used for the said purpose,Nowadays there are so much scams going on in the internet and it is diffcult to trust but i dont know why the Holy spirit still approved me to email you about this out of few email addresses i have from the internet,yours was the only one that was approved for me to contact.
Waiting for your reply.
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Joy Hoffman.

When I read this, I wanted to barf, preferrably all over the Spammy Sammy. How many people do you know that are that generous? Most sane people aren’t going to leave everything to a random stranger! And as far as “terminal illness” goes, they aren’t even original! Esophogeal cancer, stomach and breast cancer–come on! It’s like there’s a Cancer Plague going around! So, don’t be fooled–these people have nothing–financial or terminal illness. Delete these as soon as you see them!!!
