Email Sent to Those Left Behind After The Rapture



If you’re swept up to Heaven in the Rapture, who’ll tell your loved ones left behind on Earth? For $40 a year, this new website will:

Users can also upload up to 150 megabytes of documents, which will be protected by an unidentified encryption algorithm until the Rapture, then released to up to 12 nonbelievers of your choice. The site recommends that you use that storage to house sensitive financial information.

"In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables, and powers of attorneys," the site says. "There won’t be any bodies, so probate court will take seven years to clear your assets to your next of kin. Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left. So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."

    So in other words, this is a scam to get stupid people’s credit information.

    So uhhh… who in the company is going to stay behind to send out the emails? Are they keeping a known sinner on staff?

    It’s probably run by atheists to fleece the fundies. Damn why didn’t I think of that?

    wow, this officially needs to be added to that list of cons posted a few months ago. I have yet to see a more blatant hoax.
    1) Give us all your most important financial information
    2) We will totally give it back AFTER the rapture
    3)…
    4) Profit!

    Definitely scam potential here. Especially since I’ll hazard the stereotype that the people left after the rapture will be generally less moral.

    I’m not making this up-there is still one of those signs on a telephone pole in southern NH. It’s in a shopping center in Plaistow. I saw it a few months ago.

    Figure that the Fundies are easy targets. After all, they send money to televangelists too.

    That’s just great. I love it. Why didn’t I think of offering post-apocalyptic email services. And the devil gets all your stuff if you don’t use it! Brilliant!!

    There is also one on a pole north of Boston on 16. I see it whenever I go to my bother-in-law’s house. I always wanted to take it. Maybe I will.
