What do you guys make of this one? I'm sure its a scam, but I haven't seen on quite like this one yet. All he seems to be asking for is my name and address so he can 'send me his ministry'.

Dear brother in Christ,Ima Dumas

Greetings in Jesus highly exalted name. It is my great pleasure to meet you through this e-mail. Here I would like to introduce myself as

Pastor CH.Narasaiah, from Guntur District, Andhra Parades. I was born and brought up in a Hindu family. My father name is krishnamurthy who is God trinity in the Hinduism and my mother name is Rosamma also a Hindu name. I am only the one son to my parents so they loved me very much from my childhood. As a Hindu boy I used to read our Holy book Bhagavat Geeta. After I grew up 18 years old I started to think who is real God because Hindu religion not gives me any satisfaction and makes me confusion reason of many Gods over one thousand. Since 19 years I started to read other Holy books like Qmran , Bible Buddhism and some other world's faiths. I found truth in the Bible only. Mostly these scriptures inspired me.

God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, which whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life john. 3:16. God demonstrates His own live towards us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Rom. 5:8.For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of god Rom. 3:23.For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus is our Lord. Rom. 6:23.But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God, to those who believe in His name. John. 1:12. The Word of God inspires me. The birth of Jesus Christ, His miracles, signs, no one speaks that he is God or Son of God except Jesus Christ. Jesus said I am the way truth and the life. He said that he has authority to forgive sins. After reading Bible I came to know Jesus Christ is the Son of God and through His blood we have eternal life. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior on 1st July 65 and I took baptism 11th January 1966 by pastor P.Chinnayasuri. For 3 years I worked as a government employ and I gave resign to that job when God called me to do His work among unreached villages in the year of 1970.

I could establish three churches in deferent places of our surroundings with my own money every year we will conduct Gospel Open Air meetings at our Churches. So, we request you to come and bless us with the Living word of God. So that my country India would be filled with God's love and mercy. Presently we are running one orphanage home with 13 children we are strongly praying for their basic and daily needs. Because they are struggling for the food and clothes. Please I kindly inform you take little bit of your valuable time and pray and do some gracious help for them. If you give your postal address we will send our ministry we all are praying for you and for your family.

I hope this is not accidental but by God's grace only we able to contact you. If you want to know more about us, please write us we will send more information to you in our next mail. Therefore I request you all to up hold us in your valuable prayers. And please share with your friends, relatives and church members. All our church members and orphan children are sending their hearty wishes and sweet hugs to you. Closing here with lots of love and prayers. Eagerly waiting for your gracious reply.

Thanking you

Your Brother in His Service
CH.Narasaiah

Drop him an email and if he turns out to be genuine just say no thank you and move on.

Has to be a scammer since he sent it to an email address I only use for scambaiting. I will shoot him an email and see if I can draw him out a little more.

Doesn't have to be a scammer though. He might just use the scammer method of gathering e-mails to talk about his religion.

That could be true too. I will keep you posted as to what his intentions are.

Posted: Mon May 25, 2009 8:58 pm

Is this also your posting?

If not, there's someone else who thinks it's a scam. Not proof enough, but they also got the email on what appears to be a baiting addy.

Nope, that one isn't mine.

It's a scam. He has no intention of opening a church or feeding the hungry or anything else. Correspond with him for a while and you will soon get pleas to "do the needful" and send money by Western Onion.

However these scammers are VERY baitable in my experience. I got a couple of very nice trophies and safaris out of Praveen my charity scammer.

This is why I now avoid signing church guestbooks. I can't tell the difference between a scammer and a real church.

I think you'll find those orphan children will be dropping like flies if you don't send a money transfer PDQ.

Then it'll be all your fault - emotional blackmail of the worst kind. Unleash Hell on him.

ETA: Google 'Pastor CH.Narasaiah, from Guntur District, Andhra Parades.' Its listed as a scam mail on a couple of sites.

Something tells me they aren't satisfying with glass of water very often.

^^^ He's certainly not going hungry is he.

Maybe he should start drinking diet water.

Ooooh I think the great Rev. Dover needs to pay this lad a visit, show him the true way of the TW@T!

Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 7:04 pm

That would be awesome! I would like to see that!

Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 7:17 pm

@Badger

Sorry m8 tried the TW4T approach on this guy a few months ago he just dont wanna know, I also staightbaited him for a while hoping he would eventually ask for the money but he never did..IMHO he's a religious nutter who deems the use of mass mailing tools to be within Gods word Laughing

Perhaps he eats the ones that aren't "holey" from drinking only water.

I had a herb scam from India and I turned that into a church bait but she was so ruddy in the know it made it too much like hard work. I was almost studying Catholicism in night school to keep up!
