I've had the 'stranded in Madrid' email from someone too. I knew it wasn't genuine as the person it allegedly came from rarely leaves the country, I know she can spell and punctuate better than in the email, and it also referred to her having had her 'cell phone' stolen - no British person ever says that.Jenn Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...!

Sharon, Donna, all--Here's something else to look out for in your email. I belong to another carefully managed support group. Here are two items that crept in to the mail several times. In each case, a hacker hijacked the email address of a real member and submitted fake emails in that person's name.

The first was a sales pitch for a product that shall remain unnamed here. The second was a letter claiming that the sender, "Susie," on vacation in Spain was robbed and stranded in a hotel that was holding her passport. Of course, "Susie" asked people to send her money.
