I continued emailing back to this widow and she connected me with the
bank that was going to handle the transaction. I was beginning to feel 
a little more comfortable with this. I know my wife thought this was a 
scam, but I'm not so sure it is a scam. I think it is some dear widow 
who wants to give her money to somebody that she doesn't know. What a 
sweet and wonderful woman she must be. 

Then I got THE defining email. In order for this transaction to go
forward, they needed from me a processing fee of $1,000. After all, I 
would more than make that up once the transaction was done. At least, 
according to them. 

It was then I began to realize I had been bamboozled. Ask me for
anything but don't ask me for my money! 

It was a scam and I am quite reluctant to pass this information off to
the other resident of our house. One of us was right and it sure wasn't 
me. 

I did not get the $4.7 million, but on the other hand, I did not lose
$1000. At least that's something to celebrate. 

Thinking about this reminded me of one of my favorite Bible verses.
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own 
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy 
paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). 

When I put God first in my life I can be assured that He will direct my
paths in the right direction.
