The above email is a hoax and should be immediately deleted from your inbox.  It is truly a sad commentary of Mankind when we receive spam attempting to steal from kind, generous and unsuspecting people.  It is even worse when they start using the names of people we know.  I am sure the thief feels they are quit intelligent in their attempt to commit theft to innocent people while leaving an individual and/or organization holding the bag.

Noahide Nations takes every precaution possible to protect the its Members and staff.  It is incumbent on Noahide Nations and its Members to be continually diligent in protecting ourselves from these types of immoral acts.

Below are links to the various companies providing tips on spam prevention and tactics.  We encourage you to visit them and get the latest updates on spamming. 

We would appreciate your help in notifying us when you encounter situations such as the above.  We can be watching out for each other and possibly bring some of these perpetrators to justice.
