What scam? I didn't see anything devious there. Seriously, there are people in such a situation as described and in their case it's not funny. People do get tracked down and killed. If (as is probably the case) it's a genuine cry from the wilderness, there's probably not much anyone can do except maybe (and discreetly) offer some comfort. Even email messages can be risky though, in such cases, since there is a possibility of tracing them to the recipient. In any case, even if it's possible that it's a scam, it should not be laughed at thoughtlessly; the other possibilities are too serious and too sad. Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 05-Jun-99 Time: 00:04:53 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
