He said he had been robbed at the hotel. There was a lot more flim flam, but I know my brother, and this sounded nothng like him. AND, my brother is 63 years old, working and studing to be a lab tech. Also, he could not afford to go on a trip like that now. Another of our siblings received the same email. I don't know why people who work so hard trying to scam people do not just work as hard at something honest. Lately, I have to remind myself frequently that God said not to fret over evil doers. Then He reminds me of their end.
