This has nothing to do with Lingo, but there's a new/old scam going around.
If you're not interested in the info, please pardon the intrusion.
The e-mail may be from "desperate" at some address. The person writing the
e-mail claims to be out of work and unable to support 2 children, and begs,
very contritely, for you to send him a dollar or two to tide them over.
Don't bite. It's a scam. Some scumbag is trying to take advantage of your
kindness.
The way it works is some boiler-room operation buys e-mail mailing lists
for less than a penny per name. Typically, spam gets about a 2% return.
Even without the extra boost from the fake appeal to your humanitarian
nature, they stand to make 100% return on their investment.
Again, I apologize for the off-topic post.
Cordially,
