A "member" under the name "mrsstella" is attempting to perpetrate this scam. Ignore any messages from that user.

similar to the lottery wins addressed to "Dear Winner" and from a yahoo account! AlthoughPhilippine Immigration forms do have a funny e mail address,,,from memory , on the immigration form, I think its "[email protected]"

Just a few words. I might be wrong.

Also called the "Advanced Fee Fraud" or "419", these fraudsters do not seem to operate just by blindly sending mass email. They are very methodical in their approach. They will mostly send to people they can confirm the mailboxes. They have a methodology too. :)

(See http://www.nextwebsecurity.com/419LifeCycle.asp )

In fact, some reports even claim that the 419 is perhaps the 3rd to 5th largest industry in Nigeria. Most of these spam emails are traceable up to Nigeria. That's why they are called the Nigerian scam. It doesn't mean it needs to absolutely come from Nigeria.

GOOD DAY

I AM MRS STELLA TRICIA COLLINS FROM FRANCE, A WIDOW TO LATE TOM COLLINS I AM 55 YEARS OLD, I AM NOW A NEW CHRISTAIN CONVERT, SUFFERING FROM LONG TIME CANCER OF THE BREAST, FROM ALL INDICATION MY CONDITIONS IS REALLY DETERIORATING AND IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I WOULD NOT LIVE MORE THAN 2 MONTHS, ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS, THIS IS BECAUSE THE CANER STAGE HAS GOTTEN TO A VERY BAD STAGE.MY LATE HUSBAND DIED LAST FIVE YEARS,AND DURING THE PERIOD OF OUR MARRIAGE WE COULD N’NT PRODUCE ANY CHILD.

MY LATE HUSBAND WAS VERY WEALTHY AND AFTER HIS DEATH, I INHERITED ALL HIS BUSINESS AND WEALTH. THE DOCTORS HAS ADVISED ME THAT I MAY NOT LIVE FOR MORE THAN 2 MONTHS, SO I NOW DECIDED TO DEVIDE THE PART OF THIS WEALTH, TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH IN AFRICA, AMERICA ASIA,AND EUROPE. I SELECTED YOU AFTER VISITING THE WEBSITE AND I PRAYED OVER IT. I AM WILLING TO DONATE THE SUM OF $5,000.000.00U.USD( FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) TO THE LESS PRIVILEGED.

PLEASE I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT FUND IS LYING IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN ABIDJAN COTE D'IVORIE. ONCE I HEAR FROM YOU, I WILL FORWARD TO YOU ALL THE INFORMATIONS YOU WILL USE TO GET THIS FUND RELEASED FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY AND TO BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. I HONESTLY PRAY THAT THIS MONEY WHEN TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE SURE FOR THE SAID PURPOSE, BECAUSE I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT WEALTH ACQUISITION WITHOUT CHRIST IS VANITY.

MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I AWAIT YOUR URGENT REPLY.HERE IS MY EMAIL:( mrsstella_tricia2001[AT]yahoo.com)

YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST.
