Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi, ! I need to touch base with you on something, so you are aware. As I am sure you know, there are all too many scams out there. Thankfully, I try to keep updated on these things to protect myself, and our Dwarfism Group members. Just recently I learned about one of the latest scams making the rounds, where a person's E-Mail account is entered, then they send what will APPEAR to be a very " real " desperate emergency request for $2,000.00 to everyone in your addressbook. One exactly like this came to me recently, from your E-Mail addy as a message to be approved for the Dwarfism Group. It stated you and your wife were stranded in London, England, and desperately needed the help of all Dwarfism Group members, because you were mugged and had all your money, passports, and credit cards stolen...that the ONLY way for you to pay the hotel bills and return home, was to beg us to PLEASE come to your aid by sending $2,000.00 immediately to get you out of this jam! Alerting usually doesn't do any good, but I did anyway. And now I am letting YOU know, so you may do whatever is necessary to protect your account. This absolutely does not mean YOU are at fault here. It just means there obviously ARE some not very nice people out there, who do what they do to take advantage of the goodness in others. What a shame, huh? Take care, Adelaide, Moderator Dwarfism Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
