I recently was told that a scam email I recieved was possibly a beggar, I believe it's a scam, as they tell me to ask for more info regarding the "aid" of trafficked children. Fairly scam-y to me, but it could always be a beggar. Here is the email:

My response:
Dear Good Bishop,
May the grace of God be with you as I type this message.
The slave childs are very saddening. God has said that all of the good men and women of the earth are equal. Last night as I said my evening prayers. The grace of God filled my mind. I have the satellite internet and this is the 15 minutes of internet I get every day. For the child the lives will be ruined if I do not assist. As is God's will I hope to be helper in your endeavour to free slaves. Please send me for more info regarding your plan.

And as I write this I receive a reply!
Dear brother,
In this Holy Sunday, we would like to thank you for your message and for the help you would like to come to us.
But we take the opportunity to apologize for the length of our response.
Again thank you for your message of encouragement and I know that God is with us, cause for which you have responded favorably to our request. So at first we need financial help, is it possible to help us? It is for the purchase of food and medicines for these children.
This being so, given your availability and our needs, we are obliged to speak frankly and frankly to you, because we need financial assistance now and in a short time to meet the different needs of our orphanage.
Please do the necessary if possible so that we can communicate to you the address MONEY GRAM on which you could make the transaction in short time.
So pray for the reliability of this case contact us at the number listed below.
Have a nice Sunday!
GOD BLESS YOU

Pastor Alex R.

So what is the best action to take? Beggar or Scammer.

As I said in my previous reply regarding this email, this looks to be a variant of a refugee scam.

Since you have already posted a thread on this email I am locking this one. Feel free to continue the discussion here:
