another 419 spam email

we received this email today its pretty alarming that now they are wanting their suckers to come in person to where they are. we are leaving the email address in this copy because we have already sent a complaint to report_spam@hotmail.com and hopefully its disabled.

Attn: Sir/madam,

First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine approval considering the facts we have not known each other before, I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you.


I am (maurice poppo) from Liberia, West Africa. I write to inform you of my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country.

I am the first son of Mr. Opong poppo, my father was a diamond/gold merchant in my country. My father had a bullet shot by the rebels on his way traveling out of my country with two of my younger sister's due to presnt crisis that is occurring in our country (Liberia).My sister's died on the spot while UN peacemaker, keeping force rescued my father, and he was taken to hospital for medical treatment, which he later died.

Before he died he revealed to me and my mother about the box containing some raw gold and $15.5 million, (fifteen million, five hundred thousand us dollars)Which he deposited with a security company in Ghana for safekeeping. My father did not disclose the content of the box to the security company to avoid the officials from raising eyebrows to the funds. Presently my mother and myself are here in Ghana to notify the security company for the claims, we are here as refugees .

Therefore I want you to come down here in Ghana and be our beneficairy to this funds and withdraw this funds out from the security company as the direct beneficiary of this consignment and direct me on how best we can invest this money,because my father told me that it is dangerous to invest this money in Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to market instability coupled with economic and political instability facing African countries,that is why we want to invest in Abroad.

For your mutual assistance, my mother and myself have agreed to offer you 25% of the total amount of the money.We have all the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership, which I can send to you through fax on request.

Note: I will like you to keep this as confidentail as ever.Forward to me your fax and phone or mobile numbers for easy cominications.

Waiting for your urgent response on my confidential email(mauricepoppo@hotmail.com)

Mr. Maurice poppo

(For the entire family

air force to 'reconsider' its cyber command scam

word came out earlier this week that the united states air force has 'suspended plans to establish its much hyped cyber command program.' this cyber command was to be established at barksdale airforce base at shreveport, louisiana.

it never made any sense to locate cyber command at barksdale in the first place, as the obvious choice for its location should have always been within united states northern command [usnorthcom] at peterson air force base colorado springs, colorado.

more than likely whats happened is that the government has decided to run this massive domestic and international internet monitoring and spy program through one of its spook agencies instead of through the active duty military.

the government is probably afraid that after the military, a lot of whom still take their oath to the constitution seriously, finally catch on to what it's really up to -- will spill the beans.

a 'cyber command' has always been just another governmental scam. for instance, everyday we receive scores, if not hundreds of 419 as well as phishing emails as well as the regular run of the mill spam. this has been going on unabated for years. in fact its worse now than its ever been.

419 scam spam going round...

we received this in the ol inbox from our new pal mohammed...we removed the email addresses to protect the naive. here is what the secret service says about "advance fee" fraud.

Dear Friend, Good day
email addres; moha_ab234@[removed].com

I got your contact through my private search, I therefore decided to contact
you .I am the second son of General Sanni Abacha, the late Military Head of
State of Nigeria.

When my father was alive I used to move funds, in cash, running into
millions of United States dollars to Brazil, Lebanon and other parts of the
world, for safe keeping on behalf of my father.

However, on the eve of my father's death in June 8, 1998, he gave me the sum
of US$40.3(FORTY MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in
cash to move to Lebanon as usual, but immediately my father died I had to
move the fund to HOLLAND through a diplomatic courier service to a Zenith
Security Company in HOLLAND.

The funds have been in the security company in HOLLAND since July 1998.
However, because of the many restrictions placed on my family by the present
Nigerian Government, I simply cannot travel to HOLLAND to secure the funds
from the security company in HOLLAND.

What I now need from you are as follows:-

1.You should travel to HOLLAND to secure the funds in cash on my behalf and
deposit it in your bank account in your Country.

2.You will be entitled to 30% of the total sum involved for your assistance.

3.As soon as you confirm to me by my above e-mail address your readiness to
travel to

HOLLAND, I will send a copy of my Power of Attorney to the security company
in HOLLAND
authorizing them to release the funds to you.Also the deposit slip/change of
ownership on your name.

4.As soon as you have the fund in your custody, I will give you details of
where and which sector you will invest my share of the funds into, on my
behalf.

5.Please note that this project is 100% risk free, but you must have to keep
it uttermost secret and confidential because of my personal security.

Please contact me immediately through my email
addresses:ahmedaba234@[removed].fr above mail, expect your prompt reply.

Best Regards.
MOHAMMED ABACHA.

zion hill church chooses reprobate; heretic paula white to give building dedication keynote address

here is another apostate church: pineville, louisiana's zion hill church and a "pastor" joshua joy dara both of which should be avoided at all costs...

so...the other night we were watching the local evening news and one of the commercials they ran was an announcement that paula white will be the key note speaker at the zion hill church's 07 december 2008, new building dedication ceremony.

we werent totally familiar with ms. white but the name did ring a bell, most likely because we must have seen a recent nbc news report about the united states senate investigation of ms. white and other prosperity preachers. see deep background, nbc news investigates, update: tampa televangelists draw senate scrutiny and also deep background, nbc news investigates tampa church directed staffers to make political contributions.

the local news channel we were watching: kalb is an nbc affiliate -- unfortunately, kalb's news department and management are more concerned with suppressing and covering up crimes than they are in reporting them -- especially when it concerns their advertisers and sponsors of which zion hill church is one, through their thirty minute sunday afternoon paid commercial announcement and their daily five minute paid commercial announcements which usually air during the today show.
