I subscribe to Deaf Yahoo groups ( DHHC ) for Houston, Tx and here is a Deaf Scam Alert !!!!
Greetings all,
Sad news... Just as hearing people learned to take advantage of others by posing as deaf while using Internet Relay Services they now again are posing as people to help deaf children, but in reality it is a SCAM, HOAX, FRAUDULENT THEFT. If you recieve an email like this delete it. Let people you know be aware that they will not help any deaf children through this woman. They will only have their hard earned money stolen.
Be warned, be careful, do not be taken in. This person may join differnt list groups like ours and then send to each one of us. We try to be careful and ask each one who joins questions, but they can lie without us finding out. Yahoo groups are easy accessible for this. We try to keep the settings so our members can submit messages to each other and have access to each other. I feel this is important. But we can still have folks sneaking in to do things like this. Just keep informed and do not resond to any emails offering you money to help them out or that you have won the lotery in Cantolma, Angola or some other country. They will request a security fee or your bank info to deposit the money. Delete, delete, delete. Be sure if you have older parent that are just learning about emailing and the internet that they are made aware of these kinds of scams. Kiddies too!
So here is the message I got today. Keep an eye out for it. If you receive one like this pls let me know. (Since this goes out to all DHHC members I have to believe that it will also go out the person doing the scam. I hope they realize I will be looking for them!) Again, if you get a message like the one that follows about the deaf orphans or something similar focusing on Deaf and funds to be released please email me and let me know. If u can forward it fine. If not I lonly need to know you have received one.
Thanks so much for your help,
Michelle Martin, owner DHHC@yahoogroups.com
