I have just been informed that a forum member (or rather, a former forum member now) has attempted to promulgate a new version of the old "Nigerian scam" via our PM system. This member has been banned from the forum in every way possible, and the account has been deleted.
If you have received a PM from "ladyofchrist", please delete it from your inbox, and DO NOT under any circumstances respond to the email address given in that message. If you have already responded, please immediately discontinue any further contact, as it is a scam designed to rob you and/or cause you physical harm.
On behalf of the clan, I apologize for this problem. If you do receive anything of that kind from any other forum members, please inform me or your -=Of-God=- Family Leader immediately so that we can take care of the issue as soon as possible. Thank you.

For more info about these "419 scams", check out the article at Wikipedia. As for "physical harm", check out section 4 there ("Consequences") -- yep, it's pretty serious stuff ... not to be trifled with. Your best bet is just to leave it alone, delete it as spam, and move on with life .

It's a little late now, but shouldn't we report this to the FBI.
