Ive also posted this on FH as id like to know asap if anyone else has had a similar email....

Didnt know what section to post this but seems as this is the most active:

Has anyone else had an email similar to this:

Thanks for your sympathy concerning my daughter. The doctor said she has been infected with diabetes in which has now turn to macroalbuminuria. I'm bill for £150,000 .Right now I'm facing a financial problem. I love my daughter because she is the only one and I don't want to loose her. Kindly assist me with any amount you can render. And whenever I'm bact to UK, I'll return you back the money. So we can now negotiate on the deal. Please I'll look forward to hear from you as soon as possible.

Also with a thumbnail of a lil girl with symptoms of the above?

To my knowledge ive not contacted anyone about his/her daughter etc.. which leads to believe this is f*cking sick & bang out of order.

How fucking low do ppl go for money?... tbh if i met the tw@t who sent this irl .... cant explain.

If anyone else had similar plz lemme know.

That's obviously a spam/scam mail.

That's even more pathetic try than before.

I start to doubt some people have no brains or how anyone can fall to that?

my personal favorite is the one where youve won lots of cash from a decseased person abroad who wanted the cash to go to someone worth while and they choose you ^^

And its not that people have no brains.. Just they trust people too much.

I remember getting a similar mail once, and half a year later I've seen the picture of the same baby on some site, and found out picture was 10 years old, so baby would be a school kid by then :)

So... just throw all those email away, and if you have a bad feeling about it, give some money to red cross, at least you know some of it will come in a good hands :P
