About a year back, I had received an email from one Mrs. Rose James offering me 17.5 Million US Dollars for Lord's work! Below, you'll find my communication with her. My comments are in red.

The email from Mrs. Rose James

From: Mrs.Rose james <www.@docomonet.jp> why someone who says that she lives in London uses an email with Japanese domain? Also what kind of email address has www.@?
Sent: 17 May 2021 12:30
To: undisclosed-recipients: email not addressed to me directly. High possibility of fraud email.

Subject: Yours in the Lord

I am Mrs.Rose james from London,58 years an aging widow suffering from long time illness. I have the sum of $17.5M Dollars For you to use the fund for God’s work.Please if you would be able to use the funds for the Lord’s work,reply me:(mrsrose476@gmail.com) > reply to email is different as compared to “from” email. Again a sign that should raise your suspicions.

Yours in the Lord

Mrs.Rose james

This email from Mrs. Rose James is suspect

Punctuations, text spacing and grammar in the above email are not really up to the mark. I would therefore suspect this email very much.

Suspicious Email

Any email that is addressed to undisclosed-recipients: makes me suspicious. The sender is Phishing for someone to take the bait.

This email however had no links. Just an email address to reply to.

So, I “took” the bait and wrote back to Mrs. Rose James as directed.

Dear Mrs. Rose James

I would be happy to use the funds for the Lord's work. Do let me have more details

I Am still waiting to hear from her!

I have not received any reply from her yet! Have been wondering why?

Though, I do have a guess. Perhaps, my response confirmed to her my email address. It confirmed to the sender that there is a real, and probably a gullible person attending to this email address. And that I am told is precious. She / He will now write to me another email from under some other name. And this time probably, the email may have a link or an attachment that I should really be careful about.

In any case, I'll keep you informed.

Can you think of any reason why she has not written back to me to follow through on her offer of Funds for the Lord's Work?
