The French Catholic Church isn't giving you money

Don't be fooled by this variation on the lottery scam. This email follows the common pattern of coming in from one address, with the reply set to go to a second address. Also, as is also common, the names don't match.

In this case, the email apparently was sent from a hacked email box at Halmstad University (hh.se) in Sweden. The reply-to address goes to a gmail account. Neither of those addresses belong to the Eglise catholique en France. Don't be fooled - don't reply to messages like this.
