I just received this email!
Hello:
Sorry to bother you with this but I had to make a sudden trip out of the country to Greece. Am here to see my ill cousin she is suffering from a critical uterine fibroid and must undergo hysterectomy surgery to save her life. The surgery is very expensive here, so i want to transfer her back home to have the surgery implemented. I really need to take care of this now but my credit card can't work here. I traveled with little money due to the short time I had to prepare for this trip and never expected things to be the way it is right now. I need a loan of $2,300 from you and
I'll reimburse you at my return. Get back to me asap, I'll advise on how to transfer it.
Thanks
Zvi Efrat Sobolofsky
So interesting that Rabbi Sobolofsky has relatives in Greece! And I love how he signs his middle name as "Efrat" [his wife's name]. So becoming of a Maggid Shiur. And what IS "critical uterine fibroid"?
Lesson - ignore these silly emails sent by dishonest people trying to make an easy buck. Or 2,300 easy bucks....
