[Promotion-technology] {Spam?} From Heidi Thorsen ..... Help!!!

[lras at sprynet.com]

This ended up on several NFBNet listservs, and is very likely to be a scam. I don't recommend that anybody respond to it. Ms. Thorsen's e-mail account has probably been hijacked.

We had to be in Philippines for a Tour..the program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. We misplaced our wallets and cell phones on our way back to the hotel after we went for sight seeing. The wallet contains all the valuables we have. Now, our luggage is in custody of the hotel management pending when we make payment.

This will enable me sort our hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford at this moment. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. Please let me know if you can be of any assistance.
>> Thanks
