Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Pam, Unfortunately that type of person will just get a new name from Yahoo or Excite or someone else and strike again. The person learned just enough about MSA (although they confuse it with MS also) to make up a story that sounds plausible to someone desperate for a cure. Everyone here must realize that there are people who will lie for profit or even to advance their own ideas on the internet. It is NEVER justifiable to make up stories and put them out as SPAM or chain letters, a lie is a lie and it is wrong. As you say, when a cure is found, this list will know about it first and there will be 50 emails proclaiming it. If a cure had been found in 1992, Charlotte would be alive today (even if I had to go to China to find it). Take care, Bill Werre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Yeah, no kidding... he actually subscribed last night just before he sent that and his email already bounces. He also uploaded stuff to that website he cited last night as well... check the root directory at http://www.geocities.com/ericzemann That bank account where he wants you to send money though can probably be traced.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Bill, You are so right. So many of us rely on what you and Pam say. We know that you either one of you would never lead us astray. You have always been there to help us no matter what are questions are. I just want to thank both of you very much and the rest of board for all your caring and help from the bottom of my heart.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Pam, Good for you. We don't need someone like this on our list and making a bad influence on people reading our list. We all give when we can and what we can for research. S. Cure for MSA?- I don't think so! > , > > We were all appalled by your post to the Shy-Drager/ > MSA list asking for $50 to receive the " cure " for MSA. > Your post was in extremely poor taste and meant to > exploit people.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 PAM, more thanks for taking care of us. We simply do not have time or patience for depraved foolishness. Send jokes, humor is therapeutic. LA Louise trying to keep up with constructive and informative posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Thanks Pam-Belinda speaks for me, too-I'm new to group, was referred by the hospital at Vanderbilt University. This disease is so devastating to our families, that it appalls me that someone would capitalize on us in our weakest moments. We are all trying hard to cope and I've shared some of your stories with my family as it makes me feel we are not alone-no one we know has MSA. Thanks for watching out for us. Cindy B.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Pam, I also reported that website to geocites as an ad which violates their terms of service and gave them the money site as a reference. They also violated the terms of service when they sent a chain email referencing the site. Did you report this incident to Yahoo groups also? I was sort of expecting an answer to my complaint. Hugs, Bill. --------------------------------------------------------------- pammygbower wrote: > Yeah, no kidding... he actually subscribed last night just before he > sent that and his email already bounces.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Bill I forwarded the entire letter to the yahoo abuse site but have not received an acknowledgment yet. It was a bit of a shock to see it but there are all kinds of nuts roaming loose. Barb -- "Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations."

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Yes I did and I asked them to get back to me. I don't know how long these sorts of things take though.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Greetings Bill! Unfortunately, many ISPs fail to follow their own policies. I've found it sometimes takes contact with a manager before action is taken. That can be hard to do with ISPs that like to operate anonymously. Regards, =jbf= B.
