[Elecraft] Sad News!!! *SCAM* pls ignore it

Don't worry Guy, it's *definitely* a scam, a very common one at that with
minor variations.  I see it roughly once a month, usually (like this one)
from someone on one of the many work/hobby email reflectors I monitor.

If you receive something like this, are concerned and want to check it out,
I recommend that you search for information at Snopes.com which is a
reliable source.  Searching Snopes for the phrase "tears in my eyes" turned
up this page: http://www.snopes.com/fraud/distress/family.asp

It looks to me as if Bob's email account has been compromised by the
scammers, most likely due to a virus on his PC but possibly due to Bob using
a weak password on the email account.  I'm trying to get in touch with Bob
via my ham friends in the UK.
