Be Careful.  This is a common scam.  If you don't know of a way to 
contact Joyce personally to verify its truth, do not send anything.  
Joyce I hope this is a scam and you are not really in trouble.  If you 
are, please find a way to make this contact verifiable so that we can help.



Contact the US Embassy if you are really in need of help.  They can 
usually help you.

Re: [VFB] Horrible Trip!!!! Buggs needs help!

2010-10-27 Thread Don Ordes

Jack, you are correct.  SCAM!

This email has no recipient shown and there's no identity in the text, so 
it's a one-message-fits-all con-job.  The message came to me twice, probably 
once from the VFB and once from the personal email file that was hacked.


Joyce would never send such a letter to the general VFB list, and she has so 
many friends here who would personally step in if she addressed or called 
them off list.  Since she had access to a computer (so the letter says), she 
could have reached one of us easily.


What we can do is forward this email to the authorities and they can try to 
trace it.


BTW, My dog MT (Meal-ticket) swallowed a bone that got stuck and he needs 
emergency surgery.  Please someone send me $2000 for the veternarian.  Cash 
only please.

You know - I've wondered most of my life what the heck the 'con' in con-man and 
con-job stood for. I've been told recently that it is in fact an abbreviation 
for confidence. Which in fact seems a bit of a misnomer to me, since it is all 
about confidence placed in someone (the con man) NOT worthy of it ;-)

You would think that you could confide in a confidant, but your
confidence may be misplaced.
A 'confidence-man' needs to win your confidence for the scam to work.
