It seems we have a new form of SPAM.<br>
<br>
Just to alert you... I sent the message below internally after
receiving that:<br>
<pre wrap="">This boy is about 2 years old. Found and taken from Khao Lak Resort
Area, the southern part of Thailand. His parents are missing. His
nationality cannot be identified.
Please take a look at the attached pictures of this victim (a 2 years
old boy) from Tsunami. If you do not know him, please forward his
pictures to your friends or organization in your country for further
publication.
I thank you all for extending kindness to this boy.
With kind regards,
Tess Ruktapurana

I don't know the extent of the problem, Not sure what ISOC can do, but
may be they could contact the right people to issue some sort of
warning. I think there are already too many people abusing the event
(kids adoption/kidnapping in Indonesia).<br>
<br>
However, if someone can ensure me this message is true, then I will
help to rewrite it, so it's authenticity can be easily verified.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<pre>All, please be aware.
It seems there are now a couple of e-mails circulating around about
missing persons. They ask you to forward the e-mail to as many people
you know. DON'T!!
If the e-mail does not contain any detailed and authoritative
information on a person to contact if you know the missing person, it is
a hoax only there to saturate the Internet and especially our bandwidth.
Do not be gullible, naif, or too sensitive, be alert!
Cheers
