Default Warning! New twist on old scam

You know those ridiculous emails you get from someone saying they are from Africa and they have a lot of money but they need an american bank account to transfer it to? Nobody falls for those, right?

Well, SOMEBODY must, because they still send them.

The latest twist which came in a PM to one of our members is that the unfortunate Africans are persecuted Christians who have converted from Islam. Now, there are for real Christians who are persecuted in parts of the world. But this is still a scam, playing on good people's confusion.

Please never respond to these. Organized crime is backing them. If you receive one, or any type of pm that is obvious spam, please forward it to me and I will take immediate action.
