I just got the following email from "bety from Hummer Forums":
 
Donation From  Mrs Bety Koume,
betykoume1jp@yahoo.co.jp
Dearest  In Christ,  

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you as you read this message, it is obvious, that this message will meet you with great surprise.

I am Mrs Bety koume  from the Republic of Seychelles. I am married to Engr.Kofi Koume who was the Chief Executive Director of an Oil and Gas producing Company here in Cote D' Ivoire for eleven years before he died on the  27th of November 2005.

We were married for eleven years with-out a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his sudden death, we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5.2Million (Five Two Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) in a Security Company here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire, and adviced me that he used my name as the next of kin and that the security company officials does not know the real content of the trunk box because he comorflage it as (FAMILY VALUABLES AND TREASURES), and it is still with the Security Company up till now.
  
Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem, the one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition now, I have decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or individual that will use this fund for the helping of the orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.

For i know that my sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in me in the kingdom of God according to the book of [Romans 8:18].  Therefore i am giving out this donation in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is written that i should give, and  it will be given to me. Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and I don't want my husband, efforts to be in vain. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
  
Please, let my donation be in secret between you and i, as it is written in the book of [ Matthew 6:3 - 4].That when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand to know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret;and your father who sees in secret will himself reward you openly.

I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord, because the Lord has been my strenght and hope

As soon as I receive your reply in acceptance of my donation, I shall give you the contact of the security company here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire. I want you and the church to always pray for me . 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,and also remember me in prayers. May Almighty God make you an eternal excellency and a joy of many generations....Amen.

Hoping to receive your reply and remain blessed in the Lord.
  
Yours Sincerely in Christ,
 Mrs Bety Koume

I banned this member.  I'm waiting to delete their profile until I speak to Patrick.  You should have not gotten anything from them in the past 24 to 48 hours.  They were banned on Sunday I believe, by me.

The banned address has to stay in the system so that they cannot rejoin or activate the account again under the banned name.

NavyChief; that was an email, and in your profile you have the option to allow users to email you.  That's how they are doing it I guess.  Patrick, what do you think we can do?
 
Chief; you may have to just block that email address.  I'm not sure how she got yours though.

You can ban them until you're blue in the face but all they do is switch proxies and move on to the next ISP.  The best offense is a good defense so use an ISP with an AWESOME spam filter like AOL. 
 
Nuff said.
