Reminder... these 'please send money' or 'please send your bank acct
information so that I can deposit money into your acct' pleas are ALWAYS
scams. They have been for years. If a trusted 'friend' was truly stranded
in a foreign country, they'd borrow a phone and call home. If a long lost
relative died and left you money in another country, it would be a lawyer
contacting you via telephone or letter, and definitely not through an email
message.
Best advice... don't even open these messages up. They're bogus, and could
be carrying viruses, worms, etc. themselves. Being on a listserv like
histonet, we're prone to receive a lot of these email fraud attempts.
Ignore them.

Sorry Histonetters, but this needs to be cleared up! OK, Jerry
Santiago, are you alive and well in FL or the UK in trouble, or is
this another ridiculous scam???? I know how well connected you are,
so one of your colleagues should know.......

Hi,
My wife got scammed with something almost the same a month ago, less
detailed message in hers though! They got into her gmail and deleted all
her contacts and tried to delete all her most recent emails (they forgot
to clear out her trash though, so she got most back).
Don't fall for it!

I am rethinking this email since I read it over again. The scam email I
received asked for money ($1,800) to be sent to England via Western
Union. I am not sure about this since this supposed Jerry is asking for
just a response email. I would still be very cautious!
The Idaho news said the lady received a "yahoo request" (same as mine)
asking for email address, password, country of origin, mothers maiden
name, ect. Once the perpetrator had the information, they immediately
extracted all her information and cleaned her bank accounts out. This
was a business computer account and it shut down her business!

The email you received is a Nigerian Scam. Someone was able to hack
into Jerry's computer and get all his contact list! You happened to be
one of his contacts. The same sort of Scam happened to me last
October. Fortunately for me, I didn't have any bank account
information in my computer. I have a MAC and so I went to the Apple
Genius Bar and they checked my computer for any viruses. Fortunately,
it is very difficult to get into a MAC. This has been on the news in
Idaho and various other states. DO NOT RESPOND to any emails that want
any personal information!!! You need to clean-up your computer from
any viruses.

remember
the email address from Florida Society for Histotechnology, I am

if this is real or if someone is assuming his identity overseas, foul

Subject: NEEDS URGENT HELP !!!
Help! I'm sorry to be emailing you like this, but I am in need of some
urgent assistance. As you have know, I've been traveling through
Europe.
But last night in Scotland, my worst fears came true. As we were headed
back
to the hotel, we were robbed but a crazy man with a knife. He took our
bags,
wallets, and phones. We have no credit cards or cash.Thankfully, we had
left
our passports in the safe at the hotel. We need to get back home, but
we
have no way to get to our flight in Germany that leaves for home next
week.
Right now our only option is to fly home from here. We need some money
so we
can purchase tickets to get to JFK, and then fly home from there. As
soon as
we get back home, I can repay you, I just need to get some cash to get
there. If you can help, send me an email back, we have internet access
from
the lobby in the hotel. I'm sorry to bother you, I just didn't know how
else
to contact everyone quickly Thanks!
