Venditoris: Beware of Scams

Here’s a tear-jerker letter, begging for our help. But she doesn’t know our name(s).

Could that be a clue that this is not what it purports to be and is instead one of those spam scam email letters like the nefarious Nigerian Letters (YANL)?

You bet it is.

Solution: Disbelieve everything from anyone you do not know in the World of Email. It has this kind of scam running wild just searching for a dumb bunny to fleece!
