Nigerian Emails - We recently received an email from Nigeria
- BEWARE!!! It purported to be from a Lawyer at the High Court relating to the
death and will of a Pastor Polycarp Ekeocha who had apparently left us lots of
money! This was a scam - they really wanted to get us to pay money in fees etc.
This is a version of the Nigerian fraud (419) scams (see Internet ScamBusters).
A search of the Internet revealed that a number of Christian groups had
received similar emails, but with different dates of death and reading of the
will!!! Click here for
