I do believe most people are keen to this type of spamming already but just as a precaution for everyone's safety I feel this needs to be mentioned. I received a message from a concerned forum member who was approached this morning via PM by new member Ellen45. This supposed new member Ellen, who no doubt is not a woman at all but rather part of an internet criminal organization that works out of the Ivory Coast and is PMing members here with intent to lure the unsuspecting into a financial trap.
I'm sure you've all received at one time or another that commonly sent spam mail where the woman cries about her husband dying and leaving her "x" millions dollars of which she can't touch without your help.. If you have received such a PM from Ellen please just delete it. I'm not sure how many members were PMed before I was notified but please know that the account Ellen45 is now banned.. Thank you and God bless, John

You know, I have lost about eighteen millionaire uncles in faraway places and I have yet to see one cent! ;D
But no, Ellen did not spam me. Those things are like weeds in a lawn and might not even have been a person at all but a program set up to find forums. Expect a rash of similar ones if that is the case.

Dear Beloved In Christ,
With Due Respect and Humanity, I was compelled to write to you under a humanitarian ground. My name is Mrs, Ellen Bamber. I was born in Baltimore , Maryland , I am married to Mr. James Bamber director J.C Industries Cote d'Ivoire.We were married for 36 years without a child. He died after a Cadiac Arteries Operation.
And Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem (cancer of the lever and stroke). Before my husband died last year there is sum of $4,000,000.0 Million Dollars that he deposited in a Bank here In Ivory Coast . Presently this money is still in the Bank,
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any good God fearing brother or sister that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein. I want somebody that will use this fund according to the desire of my late. Husband to help less privileged people, orphanages, widows and propagating the word of God.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this fund, And I don’t want in away where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my up coming Cancer Surgery. Write back as soon as possible any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose, hoping to read from you ASAP.
God bless you as you listing to the voice of reasoning,
Yours in Christ
Mrs Ellen Bamber,
Please it is important and urgent for you to contact me immediately on my private e-mail address(madamellen@cantv.net)for further informations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ELLEN45 is a Con.. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.. I JUST GOT THE SAME EMAIL.
