Folks. I know scammers are all living in the scum at the bottom of the pond but occasionally one turns up that gives new meaning to the word lowlife. I received this in my dating 4ppl account.
I normally stick to the love lads and vlads so I'm throwing it open to someone with the skills and stomach to take this on. Bolding is mine.

Dear Friend,

My name is Mrs. Rebecca Ghandi, I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to charity in Tsunami Victims Japan through you. You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I am 54 years old and suffering for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked for.

I have been touched by the lord to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to Tsunami Victims in Japan through you for the good work of humanity, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband’s Hard earned funds inappropriately.

I have asked the lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has, because He is merciful. I will be going in for 3rd operation, and I pray that I survive the operation this third time.

I have decided to WILL/Donate the sum of $106 Million to charity through you for the good work of the lord, and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get.
Presently, I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well And always extend the good work to others.

If you are interested in carrying out this task, I have informed my attorney general Tony Singla so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you from the bank.

His contact information is stated as follows:-

Mr.Tony Singla
Phone:+44 70-4571-9249
Email: [email protected]

The profile photo is of a real woman who has obviously undergone surgery. It is not pretty.

Hope someone feels, as I do, that the multiple layering of human tragedy combined with stealing some poor woman's post-op photo is worthy of a REAL lesson in pain.

Thanks. Love Phil X

Oh the lads are leeches. They've got BBC News 24 streaming 24/7, and the moment something of worldwide magnitude happens, they've got a format.

Ugh! Evil or Very Mad

^^^ Some people include their SSI number on their checks also which is not a good thing. Too many unscrupulous people out there.

A mugu can never be too baited.

@ Phil. Maybe it's time for the tag team we mentioned. The Doughnut and the Ditz could get together to "help her in her dying wish". Hopefully, by the end of it, she'll wish she was dead Wink

ETA: I did a quick tineye result on the photo, and it seems she also has a profile on helloscranton.com, a dating site for people based in Scranton Pennsylvania!

A last Wish Granted sounds like a great idea.. Twisted Evil
