I just got an email that was flagged as junk mail, and it might actually be a new scam tactic. Certainly one that I've never seen before.... They're simply asking for money this time, but with a sob story for a reason. Anyone else seen anything like this?
May not be a scam. With facebook linking email address or being put on mailing lists for neighborhood block parties, I have been receiving a lot of donation stuff. It may be for a good cause but it bugs me that someone I don't know got my name off some mass email.
Look at the gramar and puncuation mistakes. Add that the email came from a different address than the one listed. All the email addresses this was sent to are hidden, so it's noone that knows me. And I don't have facebook or my email posted anywhere. I'm 100% sure it's a scam. Just a new tactic....
$20,000, seriously....have you checked a real hospital bill lately. A birth is about 15-20,000 and that is vaginal birth. My friend broke his hip in a motorcycle accident and that cost him $35,000. So, if you are in a giving mood. I am currently out of work, have a 5month old baby, plan on putting my lady on meth and to make matters worst I stubbed my toe. In order for me to survive my soon to be racing career I need you to send me cash ASAP...paypal verified
Same thing I was thinking. Especially on an infant. You'd need to add a zero, and move the comma at least one digit.
