When Someone Emails You They're Giving You $26 million It's a SCAM NOT THE WILL OF GOD!!!

 

It had to be the will of God, didn’t it? 

I mean, that’s what the subject line of the email said.

Dear… did it say dear?  I don’t remember now.

“Mrs. Smith here in the United Kingdom is on her deathbed, and wishes to send you her inheritance of $26.2 Million dollars. She felt it was the will of God to pick you, please respond quickly before she passes away.”

Now, most of you would laugh at this, obviously, it’s a scam, I’m sure there were misspelled words in the email, but for me, this email certified that I was in the center of God’s Will.  Of course He wanted to give me $26.2 Million dollars!  I could pay off my student loans, my friend’s student loans, invest the money in oh, possibly a new foundation, start a new ministry here in Winston-Salem like the Dale House, my mom wouldn’t have to worry about money again… not to mention I could educate the world on the coming evils of the Black Awakening, and expose the conspiracies blinding the masses… yeah, it was obvious God wanted me to have the money.

Oh, I bought the email hook line and sinker.  I emailed back and forth a few times with the person controlling the information, I guess the “lawyer”?  Whoever it was that was presenting as the attorney at least. I emailed my bank information… while at work… oh dear, I must have just had a dream this scammer was capitalizing on big time.

It’s funny, because they, whoever these people were with Mrs. Smith, warned me not to tell anyone what was going on, and I thought to myself, “Of course, if I tell someone else, they will just tell me it’s a scam! I can keep a secret, right?” 

Guess what?

It was a scam.

Only I didn’t find out until I came this close to losing $3,000.00 of my own. The attorney said they needed these processing fees before they could send the inheritance to me. So, I stayed up like half the night that night trying to wire the money to the U.K. But the money gram was intercepted. It told me to call this 800 number to speak with a banker to unfreeze my money grams. So I called, and guess what they said?  This looks like a scam.

Do you know who this is you are sending the money to?  No, not really.

If they are promising you money, why couldn’t they use that money for the processing fees? I don’t know.

Are you sure you want to wire this money over?

No.  Cancel it all. I just almost got ripped.

Dude, I was pissed at the scammer. I then stayed up the rest of the night writing a scalding email saying how wrong it was for them to prey on innocent people to steal their money, and that they would be judged for it in the future, and I’m sure I said some pretty harsh stuff.

Like it mattered, they probably just had a laugh over it.

When I recounted the near mishap to my friends, they were like, Stacy, if something like that happens again, tell us so we can be a voice of reason you can listen to!

Okay, okay.

But man, I had really wanted that $26.2 million dollars.  I had such lofty plans. 

I guess it wasn’t the will of God, in the end.
