Testimonies
Today I lost an email address and was surprised to find out from a family friend that he received an email supposedly sent by me asking for him for a large sum of money "as I was
stranded in London after robbers entered my hotel and took away my luggage and cash." The email was titled "A Sad Story".
My first reaction was fear and stress. All my family and friends were receiving emails from that person, a scammer, and they would be thinking it was me. The deception was annoying
and disturbing, the way some people manage to "hack" their way into other people's correspondence and literally create chaos. It was taking in my identity and doing it for vile and vicious reasons.
My close friend and my sister in Iowa told me to just pray and give it to God, as there was really nothing I can do. But they assured me that the scam would not work, firstly because I could never afford a trip to London that quick,
and second, they could not afford the sum the scammer was asking! We had a good laugh after that and I contacted the server to have that account deleted.
Reflecting on this identity theft that goes on in the internet, I felt sad for the persons doing this, and if only they knew the eternal consequences of their actions, if only they realized, they are "scamming their souls to hell" and their deeds will return to them in the end. "A man reaps what he sows," and "the wages of sin is death..." Indeed, God will not be mocked.
A "Sad Story" they are weaving for themselves,
for the biggest scam is to have eternal damnation and the loss of one's soul to hell.
