a security or virus alert?
The Laredo Police Department are advising users of ongoing online scams in the guise of soliciting donations for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Police said Internet thieves are posing as officials from the Make-A-Wish Foundation to ask for donations through the use of chain letters.
A fraudulent e-mail claims that "a 7-year-old girl named Amy Bruce, who is suffering from a brain tumor and lung cancer, will receive seven cents from the Make-A-Wish Foundation each time her letter is forwarded via e-mail."
Another e-mail claims that "in 1989, a then 9-year-old boy named Craig Shergold wanted to be recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for receiving the most greeting cards. His wish was fulfilled in 1990 after receiving more than 16 million cards."
According to officials from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, these requests are completely false.
