I lost the love of my mom during the year 1994 as a result of a war that was caused through a sale over a guinea fowl.

Just give me your routing number and checking account number and I will make sure no one tries to rip you off.

Either Scam/Spam, or just plain creepy - I'd take it further than blocking - I would take it to the moderators. That is just plain............weird!

Geez that was difficult to read. Report them and then Delete- dont even waste your time sending a response. Some people are just plain crazzzzzy :noway:0 -
Huh? Maybe you won the lottery and he doesn't know how to tell you?0

I dunno, it seems pretty legit to me. You should probably reply, giving as much personal and financial information about yourself as you can. Send some money as well as that's a great way to meet new people!0

I went to report this message but they have deleted their account..... go figure...
BTW I have heard of the nigerian prince scams, but this was way weirder to me. It just really creeped me out.0 -

Be sure to report the mail to Mike or Steven so that they can take action against the person who sent it
Spam/Scam and report it!0 -
I travelled to Egypt and got about 20 marriage proposals, in Jamaica my mom got a few. Usually they are people just wanting out of their circumstances. Adoption and marriage are sometimes their only way out.0

I have to admit I was a bit creeped out when I recieved this message on MFP. I don't quite know how to take it, should I be flattered or offended? I have blocked this person as this is not the type of message I would expect from this site. I have removed the name of the sender. Opinions?
So here it is:
" Hello Madam I am with much pleasure to send you this email. By the way I will for ever stand by to say sorry if you don't expect any email from you. How are you doing with your beloved famioly? I hope Insha Allah you shall for ever be alright with your beloved family. I know you do not know me but i just hope To getting to knowing you more.How ever, I would like to let you know my reason and aim for being here. I know your reason being here might not be that, but for the fact that it was only a wisdom of God which made it possible that i chosed to send you an email, it was a direction only From Holy God Allah. I know i am a muslim, but i feel we are all believing in one God. And if you know you don't correspond with non christians, you can feel free to let me know because i am a boy with great faith and heart full of so much love and concern. I need some one to show me the love of a mother. I need some one who will for ever be there to always offer me the opportunity to also have the chance to call the word my mom again. I lost the love of my mom during the year 1994 as a result of a war that was caused through a sale over a guinea fowl. It was there i lost the love of my dad and mom and i have never enjoyed their love like i had wanted to. I could feel they had so much love for me at the time i was with them and they did also loved me so much. I know my mom is not dead yet, but for the fact that i can't find her any more is all that pains me. Sometimes i feel our mothers are the greatest things to ever happen to us and i never know how much to say God bless our mothers. Sometimes it is a great gift to some one having a mother and if you still have them around you sometimes you don't feel or appreciate that till the time you loose them. When i see a child with the mother it makes me happy but i never get the opportunity and chance to enjoy this love any more. With this being my reason, i puruposely and personally come here searching for some one who will listen to me and accept me as the common boy. Even though i have always being demeaned by many people of my root as a villager, but this never drops down my hopes and inspirations for my destiny. I hope to live and to live for others too one day. I love to serve and to living around the field of technology so i can help my country also advance in the field of technology.Well, i am so sorry i had to write to you a book. Only thought that was the best way i could express to you how much i really cherish and ever dream of being called a son to you and you offering me the opportunity to calling you a mother of mine from across the seas too. I know you can give me happiness only and only if God permit that, But with i believing that its only through God's will that makes me chooose you, Inshall Allah you shall admit to take me as a son from across the seas and i once again stand here to appologize for the book i have written.God bless and i will be looking forward to reading from you.__________is my name and YOu?"
Pretty simple...SPAM!0 -

My thoughts exactly! That's next - have seen it so many times... just DELETE and block him as quickly as possible!! They try and play on peoples emotions and next thing you know, they're asking for you to send them stuff, whatever... my Mother actually fell for this from someone from Ghana...and it took months for her to realize he was playing her!! Really scary crap.0
