" Hate to say it but it sounds like a bit of a scam to me, especially if you don't know the person at all. Perhaps send a reply with information about places to get assistance from? "

" Many of us, including myself are in dire need of money, but I don't go around asking for it.. I sell stuff on ebay or my family helps me.. I would starve before I would ask a stranger for money, and I don't accept social services either, but those things are there for her is she is truly in need.. Please direct her there and report her to doug.. Don't give out any money to anyone.. It is known that we are vulnerable here and easy pickings if you are a scam artist.. You have a kind heart.. Please protect it.. Hugs to you, Kimmee "
