      SCAM!  DO NOT REPLY To The REQUEST For Gift Cards.
See below.

Greetings to all!
I received the following email message. The email read that I sent it to 
myself asking for gift cards.  Take notice to the email address.  It is not 
my email.
I had researched this situation as a similar message was forwarded, probably 
three to four weeks ago.

The scammer visits various websites and collects email addresses and then 
forwards messages like the one below.
I would never ask anyone for such items.  If I needed to request, I would 
call to discuss however, this would not occur.
I was told from Verizon, that unfortually, this is becoming more and more 
common.

I will report this issue to the NFB, Baltimore as they are collecting such 
emails.

Again, this message asking for gift cards is a scam!
Joe
