Well, now I’ve seen it all. Usually I get someone from Nigeria who wants me to help them transfer millions of dollars into the U.S. or I’ve won the U.K. lottery. Today I got an email supposedly from 3ABN.org with the subject line ” “the church” … what happened? ” Well obviously that got my attention! I opened it up and started reading, only to discover very quickly that I had been duped. I didn’t even bother to read the rest of the message. Why? Because impersonating someone else in order to gain readership isn’t only wrong ethically, it’s wrong morally - it breaks the ninth commandment. Deception is never acceptable, even if it means more people will read your message. So if you get this e-mail today, please know that it isn’t from the real 3ABN.org, but from IP address 66.111.4.25, which originates in New York city.
Note to the spammers: next time, if you really want me to read your e-mail, be honest and tell me who you are.

Do you think their using websites like http://fakesend.com to impersonate people?
I get a ton of emails from Nigeria as well, but they usually tell me that they’re some prince of some province and need to send me millions and I can keep a few, lol.
