Re: Please forward this to appropriate people!!
Hi Guys,
Yes, I may have been hacking to hard lately. ;)
The original message asks for nothing. It states a situation looking for
sympathy. It asks no questions. It leaves an email address for further
contact.
You don't send an email to a bunch of hackers because you want them to wash
your car. All it would take is for an innocent and idealistic hacker sending
an email to the contact address to possibly be suckered into a situation. It
is nice to think the best of people but I have learned to watch my back over
the years. I think highly of you my peers. Perhaps my reading something dark
into that message sent from a total unknown is incorrect. Is it worth the
risk?
I am ending this thead and will not reply further. I wish you all well.
Jim
