I donated some time to HFH when I was a teenager, and it was wonderful knowing I was helping someone get a house. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised... I've seen Nigerian scammers try to use the Red Cross, too, asking for donations. This is just insidious though; it sounds like they're getting smarter. There's another version of this scam I don't know if you've seen... it looks like an apology from the Nigerian government, offering to refund you everything you lost in an online scam. These guys actually go further than just emails; a co-worker who retired has been getting calls at my office, from a heavily-accented man, asking if she remembers getting scammed out of a lot of money a couple years ago. We've all told this guy she doesn't work here anymore, but he ignores that and goes on to offer to help her "recover" the money she lost. We know this is complete BS, because she has family still at our office. We've told the guy to contact her at home... but he calls the office at least every other day. damn scammers...
