[chapter-delegates] [Fwd: Tsunami e-mail abuse....]

[Franck Martin]

It seems we have a new form of SPAM.

Just to alert you... I sent the message below internally after receiving 
that:

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
Thai Airways International PCL

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).

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.

Cheers

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
