Saved 12 million dolars and died while working in a gold mine huh? That guy must be studious, lol

Also scammer is trying to abuse religious feelings which is very disgusting.

I got a plane crush version of this mail too. So yes it is familiar

Thanks for warning RegisterRants

Tell him that the correct spelling is "SIERRA LEONE" :yell:

I just read the first few sentances of any email I recieve. That usually confirms if it is spam or not.

Very familiar.I keep getting plenty of such messages.
I just chuck them into the bin.

Yeah, this type of email makes it through my yahoo accounts like worms on a corpse. Love my spam folder, though.

Needless to say, there's the boatload of emails regarding lottery winnings, people that died to cancer and other various diseases and last but not least, 99% of all these emails have email addresses that are non conform to their country of residence, etc.

What's really sad is how many people still fall for these - there's ones that target specific churches and everything. People still believe them. Insane.

I'm with you, I can't believe people actually fall for these emails. I have had the worst battles with getting these emails and finally found a solution.

If you hate spam you should invest in a good spam filter. I use Mail Washer Pro. Out of over 600 emails I receive a day, it gets rid of about 90% of the spam email consistantly.

This may sound like a hopless advertisement, but it works. Of course it took me several months to train it, but I figured out a way to make money from it. I sell the custom filters I created for $99. You could do the same.

here is the link to the Mail Washer program if anyone is interested:
