Pasted in from today's
Wolf's Daily Howl:

I get mail through my emotionalheal.org mail box.
Obviously there's a spam filter, but when something
arrives with a potentially real name, I open it.

Reading a few sentences into the email (which
I've pasted it in below), I burst out in laughter.

It gave me such a chuckle that in addition to
the laugh I got, I just wanted to pass it along
as a cautionary post. To a person (maybe not
as jaded as I am), who feels great empathy
for others, they could believe the enclosed
message (scam). So, here it is:



Hi,

I really don't mean to inconvenience you right now but I made a quick trip to Scotland UK and had my bags stolen, in which contains my passports and credit cards. I know this may sound odd, but it happened very fast. I've been to the embassy and they're willing to help me fly without my passport but I just have to pay for my tickets and settle some bills. Right now I'm out of cash plus i can't access my bank without my credit card here.I've made contact with them but they need more verification.I was thinking of asking you to lend me some funds now and I'll pay back as soon as I get home. I need to get on the next available flight.

Please reply as soon as you can if you are ok with this so I can forward the details as to where to send the funds. You can reach me via Carmelite hotel's desk phone if you can, the number is +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ or via my alternative email julialaskovas@xxxxxxxxx.com

Thanks,

Julia
