I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE MESSAGE GOT INTO MY PERSONAL
MESSAGES AND TAKE IT AS A WARNING THAT PERSONAL MESSAGES ARE NOT NECESSARILY THAT PERSONAL. i did not open the link.




From: Joyc (all from/all to)
Subject: Mrs. Joy Gardner (From London, UK )
Mrs. Joy Gardner (From London, UK )

I am Mrs. Joy Gardner; widow of late Mr. Graham Gardner who was among passengers aboard Air France Flight 447 that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean en route from Rio de Janeiro Brazil to Paris France on 01/06/2009 killing all 216 passengers and 12 crew members including my husband. You can get details of the plane crash through the web link below.

I am presently undergoing medical treatment for ovarian cancer in a Hospital but recently, my Doctor told me that my condition has worsened and it is obvious I may not survive unless by special grace of God .

We were married for twelve years without children though we were both Christians. Before the death of my husband, he had deposited a sum of Tow Million, five hundred thousand (2,500,000 Euro) in a Prime bank hoping to set up trust fund. Presently, the money is still with the Bank unclaimed.

For this I decided to donate the fund for humanitarian purposes through a church, God fearing individual or organization that will use it to support orphanage homes, old people’s homes, widows and propagation of word of God.

I took this decision because we don't have children that will inherit the money and my husband had earlier decided to establish trust fund before his untimely death.

I therefore request you to accept this proposal and help me to achieve my heart desire by receiving the fund and carrying out the humanitarian projects as appointed administrator. If you accept this offer, you will be entitled to 10% of the 2.5 Million Euro as your running cost or compensation, while the balance should be used for humanitarian projects.

If you will be of assistance to me, please reply immediately. I will surely appreciate and thank you for your kindness in giving me this help.Please reply me with my E-mail address
[email protected].

Yours sincerely
Mrs. Joy Gardner.

I notified Patrice J about this. I got the same thing.

I also did NOT OPEN the link!!!

Ditto. Don't want to be messing with that!

BFW, I did a search on the board this morning before PMing Patrice with this. I searched for "Joy Gardner" and for "scam" and didn't come up with anything. If you can add those items to your heading, then people like me who searched for it would find it. Thanks!

I ALSO COPIED AND PASTED TO PATRICE.

Donna took care of that already. Thanks for making us aware of it!

I also got it.

She joined the board and then she can send pm's she is now locked out.

I, too, received this message and just deleted. Thanks to whomever let admin know.

there will probably be more of them, just like with the DVD sellers. They keep trying.

Thank you

I received it too! I get them in email all of the time.

I got it too - but I understood that you can only send PMs individually, OK, then you can copy and paste to the next member, but that would take forever. Has this person managed to work out how to blitz us all at once?

I have no idea how she did it and not everyone got it, I didn't.

Thanks for the warning! :thumbup:

The PM does not have a virus. It is probably created by a bot that scours the web. The computer that sent this out is probably collecting email lists to sell, so don't send you email address in response. Send your monster sister in law's email instead. LOL.

apparrently she was very busy this morning! she has been blocked but beware of others
a note to all we have to have the BOARD USERNAME to locate these people to be blocked, she signed it with a different name from what she joined as so remember to send that info along when reporting things.
thanks
and Patrice is not being unattentive to the board, she's had classes all week for work

Any time you see anything that looks like this or other spam, make sure that you let the moderators know so we can lock them out or delete the thread!

Thank you for telling us about this spam. I didn't get it but am thankful to you for alerting us incase someone tries this more often.

I immediately pulled her profile and noted she had just joined....immediately distrusted even more than my initial distrust!!!

She was back again with a different name I blocked her again. This time I got a message.

I got the message and didn't even read it just knew it was a scam. We get things like that via our fax machine at work. Mods took care of it.
