And now the Bible? Really truly a candidate for the funniest weird thread ever.
It's actually a classic part of a Nigerian scam-variant (in addition to using their allegedly full name as not only their ID, but also mentioning it in their post).
By making spiritual references, it's an attempt by the person to lend an air of 'authenticity' or 'honesty' to their communication - just like the spam messages about the hoard sitting in an African nation trying to be expatriated to the US often involves phrases like "God bless you" or similar references to God and spirituality.
She saw that she wasn't getting anywhere with her smoke screen of amazing-sounding gains, so she resorted to the final attempt to draw someone in with a simple, short-and-sweet final grasp to try and appear humble with an appeal to spirituality.
I agree with Ha - it is true that some innocent posters may ignorantly start some introductory posts with some clueless comments or newbie questions....but when there's a new member with a first post of this "caliber"
, I don't see how your subconscious, automatic reaction isn't to reach for the popcorn.
However, I must commend the scammer for at least being somewhat accurate with his/her math: starting with $5,000, and monthly returns of 5%, you will end up with over $100,000 in the account after 48 months (excluding taxes, which will obviously take up a HUGE bite). That $100,000 account value will spit out $5,000/month with a continued 5% return (excluding taxes).
At least they were realistic with their math!
And remember - maybe they don't pay taxes on capital gains in Nigeria/Somalia/insert favorite country of scammer, so perhaps they only knew from the experience of their home country.
