I have been receiving letters from a Church called Saint Mattheews from Tulsa Oklahoma for several weeks now and in the letters they would state things like I was facing death by ilness, and/or I was going to have great wealth, new home, new car, and things such as this. But always in the end there was always a catch to the whole letter, they were telling me I had to sew a seed of an amount that I was going to either purchase something with or pay a bill with, or something in that kind of nature.

Well I always sent a good amount of money in for my seed and I thought it was Gods will for me to do this. When all along I was being ripped off and let down due to we had to completely rearrange our lives after I received a letter stating that I was facing death from illness and I also had two family members following me in that path. As being a mother of three small children I had to rearrange my living to the fullest to get thigns right for my children if in the event I was facing death.

And how unfair that is to myself and ALL of my family members. My mother and my oldest nephew kept telling me it is a scham but I had faith only because I did not check into it or think about the address being a P.O.Box and ect.. so I am begging all readers please know this is a scham and we need to take charge and get it stopped.. Thank You

If possible please share a copy of that letter with us to alert others!

AUTHOR: Jacqueline - Hammond (U.S.A.)

They are not supposed to tell you bad things will happen if you don't give "seed money" to their post office box. Your family was right. It's a scam---and the worst kind of RIP-OFF!

In your specific situation, I recommend notifying the proper authorities. You can start out local, and that might be best, because this sounds like BLACK MAIL. IF it gets to the point that they are black mailing people, it really is time to SHUT THEM DOWN.

Please involve your local law enforcement, but not through 911, just call the non-emergency line, during the day. They will direct you to the specific authority to address your needs. Then a decision will be made to transfer it to the Federal level.

IF possible, specify the amount invested. Save and make copies of any payment method, even money orders, and I pray you did not mail cash. You might consider placing a lawsuit.

The Rip-off Report shows up on ALL search engines major and minor on the World Wide Web, a lot of people will get this warning you have shared.

Thank you for letting us know.
