Okay... here's an update... I found out that it was not Tracy Campbell...
It is Tracy Cambell and her facebook id# is 1472073774. It said she's from Saginaw/Bay City, MI. Went to school at Cincinatti College and Cincinatti Hills Christian school.

Please do block her plus she's getting more and more 'friends' to her list. I don't want other deaf be fooled by her scam. I already blocked her.

I want to give you all an alert about Facebook too. There is a fraud on there by the name of Tracy Campbell and claimed she won about $500,000. She's just talking to me about getting through 'lottoman' who helped her win the money. Just to be sure that everyone will know. Lottoman's ID is JamesKim001@live.de so if you recognize this then stay safe from any harm from this man.

I know it is their only way to check your email is your IP address which will state it on Full Heading from their email domain. Like others from above to not pass out your email address, your info and so on. For it is really a scam. If you look up in facebook and I start to suspect that it was trying to reach friends to get people into deaflotto. Please do be careful.

I just got this scam on my IM and right away I knew it was fake so I messed with them (yes, two different people on the same day that I posted my VP number and IM on deafVP.com). It was fun, told them my name was Nonya Bisnes, they didn't even catch up with the joke, I was not even born in the US and I know that joke...

I went to read Gallaudet's Daily Digest and saw the following line:
".. please contact DPS or the MPD Deaf Hard of Hearing unit at dhhu2002@yahoo.com"

Using a free webmail account to carry on "legal" issues is a BIG red flag. If they used a more legitimate email address like dps@gallaudet.edu or an email directly to the office of DC police, then I would feel much, much better.

Better yet, what about phone numbers and snail mail info to use than just rely on only email?

Don't bother putting the "AIM Crush Alert" screen ...

Don't bother putting the "AIM Crush Alert" screen names on ignore. They're one-time things and are not used again.

Anything coming through AIM and/or email talking about a "lotto" is bound to be a fraud, especially if you have to wire it. Giving out work and banking info makes it even more suspicious.

Sherlock and I know the differences between legitimate and fraud, so ask us. We've been there, done that, and then some.
