Gee wiz - it's already started

As if the recent tsunami tragedy affecting millions wasn't enough, now the wolves are already out and about in email scams:---------------------------------TSUNAMI VICTIMS AIDS APPEALDearSir/Madam.We are from a small village in the Banda/Aceh Region in Indonesia affected by the recent Tsunami Quakes/floods disaster that swept through South Eastern Asia. We have been rendered homeless and have lost all we have in life. Many foreign tourists also were affected
by the quakes.Since we have no other way to survive as of now and have lost most of our relations and children, we have decided to write this letter of APPEAL FOR DONATIONS.We will be very grateful if you can assist us with any amount of money to enable us start a new lease of life. Our little business have been swept off by the floods and we cannot go and steal. All we need is money to rehabilitate and start business again to make
a living.We are sending this mail to many people all over the world for assistance as we cant help ourselves. The United Nations and other world bodies/organisations are helping but it is mostly in Clothes, water and medicaments. So we need your assistance Sir/Madam and
we pray that God will reward you abundantly for listening to the voice of the less priviledged and people whose life have been devastated by a natural disaster.Any Donation can be sent to us through our nominated bank account below:<inserted bogus bank info here>Please do not hesitate to reach us with a copy of the transfer slip for any money sent to our designated account for our records and also for reconciliations with the bank.Your assistance will be appreciated.Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.Mr Teh Ho
For: Banda/Aceh Victims of Tsunami
Indonesia---------------------------------Folks - if you're planning on helping victims of the tsunami, please do so through official funding channels (Red Cross, your church, etc.), and not through these transparent and heartless scams. Cheers!

Yea some cruel heartless people really can't wait to take advantage of a disaster. I wonder if similar scam went around when 9/11 happened.

Yea theres One little nagging problem with this guy's wacko theory.Soon after the flood in the Old Test., God created a Rainbow after he Promise Noah that he would never use Water again to punish man. So this kinda debunks his God is destorying the gay and lesbian community with water.

That's sad,but expected.What I didn't expect was that so many would try to gain politically with this disaster.The UN,the media,and some environmental groups should be ashamed.

That particular piece of walking,talking s*** ain't worth the effort nor the cost of the bullet,it was personal encounters with a$$holes of a similar stripe that turned me from borderline beliver/agnostic to full on atheiest(hey here's a clue a$$holes, death threats for God don't work to bring in new belivers).
Just be secure in the knowlege that when this jackass stands before his creator one can hope that he'll get the full explination as to why he's being escorted to the expess elevator down.As for the scam artists,there's a very special corner of hell reserved for them where they'll be treated to sermons 24/7 for all eternity by the right Rev.A$$hole.Gary S

Freaks of nature like this moron who resides in our state capital and loves to get his own 2 cents in about anything tragic that doesn't involve him and his "followers" is the reason I hate religion. IMHO, Swedish people are some of the nicest in the world. Who gives a crap about the whole gay rights junk, everyone has them, so just let them live normal lives like everyone else...Enough from me.Austin

Not to wish him any bad luck, but when his time comes, it would be nice if he were run over by a Volvo. Seems whenever there is a disaster of some-such, it's not long before the slime come oozing out of the woodwork to take advantage of others' misery. Ernie

Marc,Are you using the MS Outlook Express mail? If anyone has webbase email and has a spam filter, you won't see this if you have the right setting in your spam filter. Geez, People like these makes me sick when they are taking an advantage of the situation. That is really sad.......Ken Plaza

First in response to that bogus email, I would have to say that the guy who wrote it has an excellent command of the English language, but just as worrying is that the child sex trade infrastructure was in good working order before the disaster, and it now appears that the scum who run it are picking up all the little orphans for their obscene plans, and this now apparently includes a 12 year old Swedish boy.It is true that certain Westerners along with Arabs will pay good money to defile him and others.I would get real satisfaction of eliminating scum if I were allowed to "flamthrow" these cockroaches who abuse children,Mike

Here in the UK a man is due to go on trial for sending out hoax emails to people who posted in the BBC website saying they were looking for people missing, he sent emails purporting to be from the Foreign Office saying they were dead.--

Mikeand this now apparently includes a 12 year old Swedish boy.Good news,I too heard that story and also heard the next day that the report was a hoax but good came from the hoax as authorities focusing on recovering the dead,helping the living and such relized that there are some real scumbuckets in the world and are moving to in the very least try to keep this from becoming a windfall for these dirtbags.Gary S

OTOH, it was noted in the local paper two days ago that the disaster has seemed to have done a most excellent job of cleaning up the pirates in the area. Further support for George Carlin's contention that ouside every silver lining there's a dark cloud.Brad Meyer
