Jim's got Comcast cable internet (USA) and probably
used a free 3 day trial of Giganews to send this crap out.

Would complaint e-mails to:
ab...@comcast.net,ab...@gmx.com,corp...@gmx.com,ab...@giganews.com
be of some use?

I don't really understand what happened. Everything was
fine just a few short years ago. My wife and I both had
good jobs. We had excellent credit ratings. We had
been living in our house for nearly 5 years. And, we
were expecting the birth of our first son. Then, it seems
that a string of events sent our lives spiraling downward.
First, my wife decided to take some time off after the
birth of our first son. I couldn't blame her. She had
been working since she was 15. She put herself through
college without any financial help from her parents. She
wanted to stay at home for a while and spend time with
the new baby. Well, that didn't last long. Not long after
she left her job, I got laid off. She was able to find work
faster than I, but now we were a one income family
with a new baby whereas we had been a two income
family without a baby. We went through most of our
savings before I landed a job. The new job didn't pay
as much as my old one, but it was income. The week
after I got hired, she got laid off. So, we were still at
one income. We then went through the rest of our
savings as well as withdrawing our 401K. And, we
had another baby on the way. Then, things got worse.
Both of our fathers contracted lung cancer and died
within 6 months of each other. My wife helped our
mothers take care of them and helped with
arrangements after their deaths. Since she was so
tied up with all of that plus the two kids, she didn't
have time to find a job. Many would say she was
already working three or four jobs without pay. Since
then, she has not been able to find work even though
she has been on several interviews. I do have a
better job now, but it's just not enough. We are
struggling to get along. We have no 401K now, no
savings, and we've maxed out our credit cards trying
to stay afloat. Our once great credit rating is now
in the crapper. And to top it all of, we got a
foreclosure notice the other day. I can't believe that
I have to beg for money from strangers on the
Internet, but that's what I'm doing. There is probably
no way that I could ever pay you back, but
whatever you can afford would be greatly
appreciated. Ten dollars here and twenty dollars
there does add up, and if I get enough of a
response, it may just be enough to keep us out of
foreclosure. By the way, we have already
refinanced, so there's no equity in the house
anymore and those "stop foreclosure" people won't
do anything without equity. So, if you can spare it,
please donate. You can send donations via
PayPal to desper...@gmx.com.

God Bless You,
Jim
