How do I report a spam PM like this? Usually this sort of thing comes by e-mail.

I am Mrs. Lydie Tanue, from Sierra Leone . I am married to late Mr. Obere Tanue , who worked with Sierra Leone Embassy in Ivory Coast for Sixteen years before he died in the year 2006,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter (Stella) who later died in a motor accident.
Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians(from Muslim to Christianity). And since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home because of the love I have for him .
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$700.000) Seven hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast .
Following my ill health, being a victim to cancer , I have decided to donate this fund to a Christain organizations (Church or person) that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband. I want this fund to be used in Christian Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of god and to endeavour that the house of the lord is maintained.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and do not know about this deposit . I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health situation as well the presence of my late husband's relatives around me . I don't want them to know about this development/wish of my late husband hence I want it to be fulfilled . As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan and would introduce you officially to them.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life as well commit me into your daily prayers.
Contact me on this email(mrstanue@hosanna.net) as soon as possible since any delay in your reply will give me room to source another Church/christian for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply immediately .
Remain blessed in the Lord.

I got exactly the same message today. It is obviously one of those scams, and this one is very artistically spiritual in its approach.
the texts is the same.'

So, are you telling me that I'm not going to get my $700,000 then!!!! 
Ah well, I suppose I've still got my $5 million from the Nigerian banker that emailed me and the $750,000 from the widow of the Malaysian jeweller that contacted me via Facebook this week to look forward to! 
But on a serious note, aren't we a deeply flawed species? Don't now which is worse, the fact that there are so many people out there willing to try to perpetrate such scams or the fact that there are obviously enough stupid people out there to make it worth the scammers efforts. The sooner we get some chlorine in our gene pool the better! |

Sorry, folks!
We have hundreds of spammers trying to gain access to this forum every day, and I do my best to be diligent in determining whose membership is genuine and whose is not.
This one slipped through...
Peace
