From Johnson

“Johnson Cole” is trying to cash in on a tragedy. I daresay that he was a “legal adviser” to this late couple, but more than likely found this article, which I’ve copied and pasted below, and decided this would help him land on easy street. If you know how to surf the net, you can find news articles just like this and put a fancy title behind an alias, such as “legal adviser” or “barrister” and have yourself a nice little spam. Do not fall for this trap and delete the spam—and say a prayer for this couple’s friends and relatives, who must be mortified and outraged by this blatant spam.

Couple named as Tsunami victims
The Halls were thought to be on holiday when disaster struck
A 60-year-old woman from Bristol and her husband have been named as victims of the Asian tsunami.
Carol Hall and her husband Mike, also 60, are believed to have been holidaying in a Thai resort when the giant waves struck.
They were both named on lists of the dead at Patong Hospital. Mrs Hall's death was later confirmed in the UK.
An inquest into Mrs Hall's death was opened and adjourned at West London Coroners Court on Monday 3 January.
