I got a private message in the CF mail box from a person calling themselves FAVOR. They wanted to talk privately in an email so I foolishly gave my email to this person. I thought that it may contain some Christian issues as we are on a Christian Forums.
Reprinted below is what I got and it appears to me to be a scam. I just wanted you all to know about this as this person is using the Christian Forums site to get members involved in this scam. Have any of you been contacted by Favor?

MY DEAR
How do you do over there? I hope you are doing well?
My name is Favor. (24 years), i am single, from Gambia, the only child of late Eng. Bernard Madi. the Director of Berjam Enterprise (Building Construction Company in The Gambia) also the CEO of Bernard Import and Export (GAMBIA).
As a matter of fact my mother died when i was barely 4 years old according to my late father and because of the type of love he had for my mother made him to remain un-married till he left the ghost..
So after the death of my father as a result of poison, his brother (My Uncle) who is the purchasing and marketing sale manager of my late fathers company named (Mr. James Madi) wanted to convert all the properties and resources of my late father into his, which i quarreled with him and it made him to lay his anger on me to the extent of hiring an assassins to kill me but to God be the glory i succeeded by making a way to Senegal for my dear life. I am more than happy in your reply to my email and very happy to write to you once again.
Honestly i do live a fearful life even here in Senegal because of those Assassins coming after me since Senegal and my country Gambia has a common border.
As a matter of fact i wish not to stay here again; rather i want leave here immediately.
Therefore I wish to share with you in confidence that before the incident took place, there was a certain amount of money totaling $4.5 M US Dollars ( four million five hundred thousand US dollars), which my late father deposited in one of the leading bank out of my country which i am the next of kin before he meet his untimely death.
Moreover, i wanted to facilitate this agreement by myself but due i am not capable now, i wish to seek for your assistance of a long standing relationship of your help in transferring this my late fathers money into your account in your country pending my arrival to join you start for a new life over there you are.
Perhaps I disclosed this to you alone with love and trust which i deposed in you and wish the same from you.
Therefore, I shall give you the bank contact and other necessary information in my next email if you will only promise me that you will not/never betray and disclosed this matter to anybody, because, this money is the only hope i have for survival on earth since I have lost my parents.
