Watch out for shameless thieves like whoever these Dutch and/or Mexican 
goons are.  There are probably others who've already tried to swindle 
good-hearted people out of their money, claiming it'd help the tsunami 
victims, but these are the first I've seen or heard of, and certainly the 
first that have tried it on me.  I'm surprised it took some heathen this 
long.  It's been over a week!  *sigh*

It's easy to see this went through a Mexican e-mail address 
(...terra.com.mx) but they claim to be in The Netherlands.  That's where 
they want the money sent, anyway, so I don't know ... it's someone in 
Amsterdam who is either a cohort of someone in Mexico, or s\he somehow 
"hijacked" a Mexican e-mail address to give the illusion that they've got 
"international connections" and therefore should be considered a legitimate 
organization.  The e-mail was supposedly sent from the "Zonal Coordinator" 
in Mexico  (a  "Dr. Mrs." somebody)  who wants the money sent to "Raymond 
Cole" in The Netherlands ... in Euros, no less.  HA!

I'll copy and paste it for y'all.  Be careful!  By the way, I replied with 
something I won't repeat in mixed company.  I'll just say it consisted of 
very few words, which weren't sugar-coated in the least.
