Is there the slightest chance that this is NOT a scam?

DEAR BRETHREN,

HELP SAVE LITTLE CINDY'S LIFE.

The picture you see was taken at the kolebu teaching hospital. Her name is Cindy and she was abandoned by her mother at a refuse dump. Our orphanage home has been taking care of her since but we need to put things right. As you can see she needs a surgical operation. The doctor has confirmed that it will cost a total amount of US$6,915. To carry out the surgery in South Afr ica.

The operation must be carried out before next week Friday .we have pleaded with the government to help but the process of them raising funds might even take up to next year. This is why we have taken it upon us to save little Cindy’s life.
The expenditure for the surgery is as follows:-
1. ADMISSION FEES-----------------US$800
2. SURGERY FEE--------------------US$5,365
3. DRUGS--------------------------US$300
4. CLOTHING/FEEDING---------------US$200
5. TRANSPORTATION-----------------US$250
TOTAL------------------------- US$6,915

All necessary arrangement has been made to carry out the surgery.

Please send in for any donations do get ba ck to the pastor in charge for method of payment.

The Adullam Orphanage site could be Legitimate; the english is pretty good,
and no direct begging pleas.

The scammer ( I trace him to South Africa) has probably piggy backed on the legitimate site.

The use of Gmail, yahoo.co.uk, and AOL UK is probably the biggest giveaway.

Communications should surely be to [email protected].

Well that's my 2 cents worth.

The question was rhetorical ! It would have been nice to have had my faith in humanity restored but that is not going to happen!

It is definitely a con, they send horrific pictures of a young baby girl with a cleft palete. These are his account details;

ACCOUNT NAME: T. SANUSI
ACCOUNT NO:62131240286
NAME OF BANK: FIRST NATIONAL BANK (FNB)
BRANCH CODE: 261550

They have been at it a while, and use South Africa, Ghana and the UK.

The actual website looks kosher, although the phone number doesn't work.

There is no contact information on the site, the links all get 404.

Perhaps contacting the registrant is a good idea? This orphange is in Ghana, but has a registrant in Georgia?

I would contact him anyway, and let him know that his site is being used by scammers.
