Here is an email I received today. Hopefully all of you readers, like me, can read this and smell a rat. This is from the lowest of the low and they are targeting parents of kids with disabilities, people who may be experiencing financial hardship, or are distraught. I'm sure they are hoping that any hardships are clouding someone's better judgement. If anyone else receives this type of predatory email, they should forward it to their police department before deleting it.

I can't read it. The type size is too small. However the gist of what you told us about it, makes me so angry! Good for you for passing it over to the police!
Sorry about the miniscule type, I didn't want it to take up so much space. The police were already aware of it. I also notified my local DS society.
