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

[Rosa Delgado]

It's terrible that in the middle of such tragedy some people are still
making these abuses. 
 
Few organizations in Geneva are devoted to child protection activities
which we try to support. I think chapters can do more in order to alert
their communities by organizing chapter meetings that mobilize people on
how these undesirable organizations make use of the Internet to achieve
their goals.
 
best regards/Rosa

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
