I feel sorry for you and I can relate to your $$ situation. BUT keep your begging off MY Internet forum. Due to the fact that INFO-HZ100 runs primarily over the Defense Data Network of the U.S. Government, you have just broken several Federal laws for misuse of Federal ADP resources for personal gain. You can suffer I believe a $10K fine and up to 5 years in Federal Prison for that message of yours. If I hear a peep out of you, I am informing the OSI (and I don't mean Oscar Goldman).

If the person in need is truly in need, it would be a worthy cause. However, several things in (and not in) his message make me somewhat suspicious. First of all, why didn't he include the name of the school he was attending? It seems natural that he would have mentioned it. Second, he lists a P.O. box for incoming funds. While some people do use a box instead of a street address, this looks extremely suspicious to me. Kind of like those hit-n-run mail order scams. If he was in school, at a dorm, he wouldn't have a P.O. box unless he spent some of his "hard-earned" money to maintain it. If he was living in off- campus housing, the same would likely be true. Sorry Jay-Jay, your posting just looks too suspicious to me.
