[Trainer-talk] Urgent: please sign this petition to help a blind kid!

[Linda Bloodsaw]

Looks phony to me.  There is no phone number listed or actual web address.  A quick google search brings up info on this organization.   If I don't see a phone number and web address after the signature line, I always think "fake" email.  Then I will do a web search on the company to confirm my suspicion.  The real web address will not match anything in the phony email.
