There is a church scam that is going around on the internet and making its way into email in boxes of church representatives around the world.  The Church scam is not a church conducting a scam but  a scam that targets churches under the pretense of a donation.  Here is a copy of the scam email:

Donation From Mrs Doris Tamo.

Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire

West Africa.

Greeting to you in the name of our Lord, 

I am the above named person from cote d’ivoire I am married to Mr. Lucas
Tamo who is an Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire
National Petrolum Corpration Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in
the year 2007,We were married for eleven years without a child. 

He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his
death we were both born again Christian and we worship in glourios chapel
church of God. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. 

When my late husband was alive he deposited a consignments ( one trunk
box) containing the sum of $2.5MUSD (Two million Five Hundred Thousand
United State. Dollars)in the security company here in Abidjan Cote
D’Ivoire Presently,the fund is still in the security company. 

Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer
problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness but I pray
to God to heal me so that I will be alive and see his work done as my
late husband instructed me. 

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct
herein,I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages
widows,propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God
is maintained,The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand
that giveth. 

I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my
husband efforts to be used by unbelievers,I dont want a situation where
this money will be used in an ungodly way,This is why I am taking this
decision,I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going,I know
that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. 

Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my
peace I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of
my health hence the presence of my husband relatives around me always,I
dont want them to know about this development, With God all things are
possible. 

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Security Company and my Doctor to communicate with them and claim the
donation of the consignment by all means which no one is aware of the
contents as money,it was deposited as confidential family valuables.for
security reasons. 

I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shephard.My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian and
whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. 

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another church
or individual for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I Stated herein. 

Hoping to receive your reply for more details and pls always put me in
prayer so that our good God will heal me from my sickness.
