Since Candice Krieger revealed in the JC that Meretz UK were victims of a sophisticated e-mail scam some weeks ago, my colleagues and myself in Meretz UK have realised how much more pernicious and widespread these frauds are. The bottom line is that they are after money anywhere and by any means at their disposal. They do not hesitate to plumb the depths of uncivilized behaviour and no dirty trick worries their conscience.
There is some circumstantial evidence that in the Meretz UK scam the gang may have been Russian, but their biggest error was to write in pigin English, which made the recipients suspicious.
The bottom line is that there is much bad and "evil" on the internet, as well as good things. I urge everyone to be highly vigilant and to follow the security advice of their internet service provider.
