Hi all,
I wish I didn't have to write messages like this, but there are some sick
people out there.

Rick and I as list moderators have been getting messages addressed to
the list owner from several people using hotmail addresses.
Now it seems they are targeting lists with blind members.  The CC fields of
the messages contain such lists as those dealing with JFW,  and other lists
with the words Guide" or "Blind" in them.

It is always someone from another country who has lost a family member,
usually the father, and they are asking you to help them get funds that the
supposed now dead person had deposited in a Swiss bank account.

This is a SCAM of the highest order.
Do not let them con you or anyone you know into cooperating with them.
They want you to set up a bank account and they will give you some of the
funds.  You won't ever see any money from this, and you may very well wind
up in jail or at the very least out of some of your own cash.

Up till now, we have been just deleting and ignoring these messages, but
when Rick spotted addresses of list dealing specifically with blind people
we decided to put the word out.
The person or persons who are making up this false information must be
surfing the net, looking for groups of people they consider gullible.  Don't
become a victim and don't let anyone else you know become one either.
Spread the word.

The message subjects are-
"I NEED YOUR HELP" or "URGENT".
The message is usually not addressed to any one person but to "Dear Sir" or
"Dear friend".
And it's always the same story.
Someone has recently died or been killed, and the family needs your help to
get large amounts of cash before their government seizes it.

Remember, this is not real, but a scam to get your bank account number or at
the very least money from you.

Forward this to any list owners or lists you feel might benefit from the
Heads up.
