WARNING: Tsunami 419

JUST AS YOU wondered whether human nature could sink any lower, the spams start arriving requesting money for charities that don't exist.
These mails are designed to capitalise on the misery of hundreds of thousands of people affected by the tsunami that swept the coasts of the Indian Ocean early this week.
They invite you to donate funds into dubious bank accounts with dubious fake "charitable names".
So watch out for these dubious emails, and if you want to contribute, make sure you do so by giving to a recognised charity.
