God bless you and thanks,
how are you? Happy to meet you. I got your contact via this site, I seriously have interest to invest on a profitable business in your country, the money I want to invest was acquired from my church member, and then I was his financial adviser. The amount to invest is ($14.5 million US dollars) presently, but I’m the present Catholic Church leader in my parish, if you will like to assist me as a partner, you must have the fear of God? kindly indicate your interest, and all other details relating to the funds will be revealed to you as we progress on. Confidentiality contact my direct e-mail address (rev_chris22@yahoo.com or jesusislord956@gmail.com) also indicate your direct telephone number, when replying this mail, God will guide us and with good health Amen,
God bless you and your family,
Rev, Chris

You received it today? It’s this is the case it’s weird, because I received the same message there is approximately 10 days. I said it to viki staff and this account is blocked since then.

there is another tread of spammers, I recommend always to search for similar topics in the search box before creating a similar “Topic” it clutters the discussions board… :+1:
