Warning - bogus friend request

I didn't know you could get friend requests on here now. I just got an email with a friend request and this message:

"My dear friend,

how are you? Happy to meet you. I got your contact via this site, I seriously have interest to invest on a profitable business in your country, the money I want to invest was acquired from my church member, and then I was his financial adviser. The amount to invest is ($14.5 million US dollars) presently, but I’m the present Catholic Church leader in my parish, if you will like to assist me as a partner, you must have the fear of God? Kindly indicate your interest, and all other details relating to the funds will be revealed to you as we progress on. Confidentiality contact my direct e-mail address (revcxhris@gmail.com or revchris23@yahoo.com)

Please Indicate your direct telephone number, when replying this mail, God will guide us and with good health Amen,

God bless you and your family,

Rev, Chris"

I declined the friend request. If anyone else gets this please do not accept and certainly do not give your phone number.

Mods - any advice on this?
