"Hello .I am Mrs.Kacee Holmes, an aging widow suffering from long time illness (Esophageal Cancer). I have some important information (charity proposal) for you, May God continue to bless you, Please reply me to my email below for more details.…"
Oh well the invocation to God is a give away, my many rich relatives in Nigeria used to write in the same style, keen on leaving me their money. They have not contacted me for ages. I miss them.
I have been known to alert both the domain supporting their email address and to write to the Attorney General or equivalent of the country specified in their plea. None of that mail has ever been returned so I know my letter got through.
Also, the pigeon-English used to create their message is often so bad that I deemed some of it comical and saved many over the years in a separate folder in my email portal.
Gmail seems to be the portal of choice although yay-hoo was more popular in years past.
My parents got duped by a "grandchild in trouble" email once, but fortunately a sibling stopped it before any money/credentials changed hands.
At times I wonder what Rain Rien Nevermind would post here; greatly missed.
Greetings to you. From mail Artist. I know this message may come to you as a surprise. I'm Inaya Suru. I just went through your profile on mail Artist, so interesting. I would like to have a conversation with you and it is very important.

Hi. I would like to draw attention to the strange activity of the user named ‘Inaya’:
https://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/Inaya?xg_source=activity
‘Inaya’ emailed me a letter:
Greetings to you.
From mail Artist.
I know this message may come to you as a surprise. I'm Inaya Suru. I just went through your profile on mail Artist, so interesting. I would like to have a conversation with you and it is very important.
An urgent response will be appreciated.
Regards,
Inaya Suru.

Very interestingly, a spammer called ‘Caragh’ was previously banned from this portal.
