I received this in my catcher addy today. Has anyone received one like this? It really seems legit UNTIL the part with the Western Union Money Transfer. If it's a scam, they have sunk to a new low!!!!!!

Over 3,000 people are known to have died in Japan's earthquake and tsunami. With entire villages swept away by the tsunami and thousands more missing, it's expected that the total number of dead could reach 10,000.
Up to 100,000 children have been forced from their homes because of the disaster, "Their homes may have been destroyed and many of them will be sheltering in crowded evacuation centres," said Stephen McDonald who is leading our response. "We can only imagine how frightening the experience of the last few days will have been for them."
There is also a risk that some of them will have become separated from their parents and family members because of the disaster. It is important we provide support to parents and children who are struggling to cope in the aftermath of the disaster."
Children have talked of their fears of returning home, the fact that they are missing their friends and how desperate they are to go back to school.
But, for the meantime, many schools have been turned into temporary shelters for those displaced by the disasters, with children having to sleep in crowded classrooms along with many others.

How we are helping?

We have a team in Sendai, one of the worst affected areas, establishing an operations base to help the most vulnerable children and their families.
The teams will be setting up a network of child friendly spaces. Staffed by trained volunteers and furnished with toys and games, these spaces are safe havens for children to play and socialize with peers their own age, helping them recover from the trauma of the disaster they have just experienced.
We are a leading expert in this field, operating child friendly spaces in major disaster zones around the world, including the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti, Italy and the floods in Pakistan.

London.com is a mail.com free email address so I doubt it is legit.

As Inspector Gadget says, we already have a thread going for tsunami scams so I will lock this one to keep things organized. Feel free to repost in that other thread.

And no, there are no depths to which lads will not sink. There has not been a single natural disaster which they haven't exploited within hours. It's despicable. Evil or Very Mad
