[Rotary] Fwd: Please Respond........John Porter ... this item from John is a hoax

[Bruce Lewis]

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO JOHN. SOMEONE HAS GOTTEN HOLD OF HIS / ROTARY EMAIL ACCOUNT and send this erroneous appeal for money.

This is a common, popular scam.  Does anyone even know where John Porter is?

> I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about our trip because it was impromptu. We had to be in Ukraine for a Tour..the program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. We misplaced our wallets and cell phones on our way back to the hotel after we went for sight seeing. It was a terrible experience but luckily for me I left my passport in the hotel room.
