Phishing email/Scam
Complaint
Stephen Moffett
Country: United States
I just received the message below. Isn't there someone we can forward these messeges to to help catch these crooks. It seems MSN would want you to send it somewhere to catch and prosecute them? I am disabled and could really use this kind of money but I never respond to anything that sounds too good to be true. I know if it were legitimate they would not ask for my personal information as MSN already has my information on file. It is a shame that Bill Gates can't stop this crap. Afterall he has enough money to pay us all this money and still would have enough left over to buy the world and live forever. I don't think that is right either to be so filthy rich. The Lord says it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of the Lord. If you have any ideas how to help or where I can forward this email to catch them, please let me know? God Bless you all and please help stop this before it hurts more that are already hurting.
