SCAM ???
Does it really matter if this e-gold message is a scam or not?
It is clearly spam, if it was sent to you unsolicited. You can, therefore, report it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with full headers, and they will take some meaningless action like balance limiting the account. (Five minutes later, the spammers will have a new account and all the gold in that old one converted to cash, more than likely.)
Suppose it is legit? Are you seriously going to provide money to everyone who asks for it, even if all those people are truly needy?
Is it moral to give alms in public? Jesus taught we should pray in private to avoid hypocrisy, since those who pray in public are more interested in getting approval from their neighbors than having their prayers heard by God. Perhaps it is also immoral to publicly solicity alms, for the same reason.
Is altruism the best you can do? Perhaps you should read Ayn Rand's book _Atlas Shrugged_ for some insight into what you owe other people.
A moral society can be formulated on two basic premises: do everything you agree to do; respect all the property of every other individual.
Suppose it is a scam? Scam e-mails come through my e-mail inboxes at the rate of 500 a day. I filter them heavily. Echoing scam e-mails to this list for discussion seems like a waste of time.
Be advised that all those people who claim to be Nigeria's oil minister or Liberia's Charles Taylor are lying and scamming, without exception. (Even the "real" oil minister and the real Charles Taylor are scammers and liars.)
Ultimately, whatever advice you receive from others, you must choose for yourself. Is helping the family of someone who was killed in the 11 September 2001 attack the highest and best use of your money? Don't you have yourself, and perhaps your own family to consider?
