Woke up this morning to a NIGERIAN SCAM EMAIL forged with ny Pastor's name
Hi,

Just writing to let you know my trip to London, England has been a mess. I was having a great time until last nite when I got mugged and lost all my cash and credit cards, It has been a scary experience, I was hit at the back of my neck with a club. Anyway...... I'm still alive and that's whats important. I'm financially stranded right now and need your help. i need you to loan me some $$, I'll refund it to you as soon as i arrive home. Email me as soon as you get this so I can let you know how to get it to me.


Studying the full header of the email address (which may be forged completely or in part) reveals a sending IP Address in Lagos, Nigeria.

Header was forged using the Pastor's legitimate AOL address.

:rofl:

I'm going to drive over there in a few minutes and say "Praise GOD! You made it home OK!"

:rofl:

4. It was a hit in 1939 by Blind Lemon Rabinowitz
His other hits were "Toast, Lightly Buttered" and "You Kiss Your MOTHER With That Mouth?"

6. I got one of those once.
So I gave them a phone sex number and told them to call me immediately. Never heard from them again. :7
