I have a curious question which may involve some compromise of your member database. I received this email today from a woman purportedly in Africa at mrstanue@hosanna.net who claimed that she was sending me the email from Christian Way. Where she got my email address combined with Christian Way is a mystery. She claims that she wants to give away a large sum of money. I have heard from our local police department about scams where people from outside the US will try to get personal banking information and this sounds a little like what our local police mentioned. I just wondered if anyone else associated with Christian Way had received a similar email. Most likely this is a phishing scam trying to get personal banking information but I have some questions about the email's association with Christian Way.

The Christian Way Forums - New Email (From Sister(Mrs).Lydie Tanue)
From Sister(Mrs).Lydie Tanue
Abidjan Ivory Coast West Africa
Dearest in the lord,
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) 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.
Sister Lydie Tanue.

Apologies for your receiving that message. Thank you for bringing it to attention.
I have taken action regarding the "member" who posted the message and will continue to administratively monitor such attempts. Please notify Linda and me should you ever receive questionable messages you believe associated with these forums.
One of the consequences of trying to maintain an open forum is that people will occasionally abuse the privilege. I pray that our members and guests are wise regarding the scams practiced on the Internet.
