You are absolutely right Mr.Karan. A couple of years ago I received an SOS message from one of my colleagues and close friend who and his wife are now working in USA. The request was to send some British Pounds urgently saying that they were on a European Tour and all their belongings including money purse were lost from one hotel where they were staying. Suspicion dawned in my mind and I made some enquiries which revealed that they are in USA and have never been on such a tour. Many of my colleagues also got the copies of the same letter. So beware of Internet Fraud which is very rampant now in different forms likie Phishing, Spaming and so on. Don' t respond to such emails - best way is to DELETE them immediately.

I wonder-How everybody believes every thing explained in a mail from unknown person?
In this CON-WORLD, My request is please donot respond & send any cash to unknown person.
In my experience, One of my friend's niebour advertised in a paper that he is suffering from uncurable illness and swindled thousands of rupees. One fine day he met the same person in "TASMAC" arrack shop drinking.
So please guide these kind of persons (if it is real fact-we must help) to go to a charitable trust and ask him to live there.
If he is not will to go-then it is a prooven case of fraud.

Subject: Re: [www.keralites.net] A humble requestOne is indeed sorry to hear the plight of people like Mr.Gopinathan.
Both sons and daughters are equally responsible to take care of their parents who are in desperate straits. I am not very sure how total strangers would help Gopinath when his own daughters wring their hands in helplessness.
If someone else does extend monetary help to the gentleman to reach Kerala safely, how is he going to manage things practically in an alien place - a place he had left decades ago?
As in western countries, our central and state governments should bring in suitable legislation to provide succour to destitute men and women in their sunset years.cris iyer

Subject: [www.keralites.net] A humble requestDear Friends,
I do not know whether this platform is the right place to say something about me. I am Gopinathan hailing from Anikad panchayat of Pathanamthitta Distt. I am 58 years and in Delhi since 1976. I have been with various companies working as secretary to CEOs. I am married and have two daughters. Presently I am a heart patien for the past five years. My wife got left side paralysed for 13 months and left for her heavenly abode in April 2011.
My two daughters got married as their own choice one with a Christian and the other with a Muslim.Presently I am living with my elder daughter in Delhi. Now coming to the point, as my wife was paralyed and I had to take long leave from the company where I was woking and the result was that I was thrown out from the company as they could not afford me as I was taking long leave.
During my wife's ill health and treatment in private hospital I had to shell out all my earnings including gold ornaments and I am living with my elder daughter without an income. As you friends know it is very difficult to adjust with a son-in-law of other religion. During 2-3 occasions I have been asked to leave the place and take shelter somewhere. Friends you may advise me to file complaint against them but I do not want to hurt them in any way. I thought of giiving news in local malayalm newspapers but my inner mind advised me that that will affect my daughters future life. Accordinly, I decided to leave for my native place but unable to do so because of shortage of funds.
If any of the friends like to help me financially at this juncutre so that I can reach Kerala safely, please send me an e-mail so that I can provide you the details you want. It is once more requested that I do not want to hurt my dauthers or relatives or move legally.
If I am wrong in giving this information to Keralites, please excuse me and leave it unnoticed.
