Hey guys, i got a email from Rev. Philip Menard a few days ago and i want to tell you that it is a scam/fraud!

heres what it says:
[size=13px] am sending you this mail in good faith, My name is Rev Philip Menard. I have just been informed by my doctor that I only have few months to live due to cancer illness and I am about to end the race like this without a child. I have decided WILL/DONATE 8,000,000 to you to promote charity works. God bless you. Waiting to hear from you [size=13px]Humbly and sincerely,

Now first i was like “OH HELL YEAH” but then i was like: “how the hell did he get my email?” I mean my email is pretty much out there and you would have to know me to get it.

Dont believe me?
