Absolutely NOT!!
99% of such "requests" are scams.
Tell them where to get help, but never ever send money!
OR give out personal info , phone, or address!!

It's probably a scam. Nobody gives free tickets, that's nothing new. Tell them to write a letter to the president, maybe he'll do some good for a change.

Do you normally go round sending money to people on this net.
You must be nuts. Do not send funds to anyone you have no knowledge of. If this person was in dire need of funds, he would and should go to his embassy and discuss his situation. Better still he would surely have a mummy and a daddy to help out.

the best way to handle this would be to offer to buy them the ticket yourself, not to send them the actual cash. Then you know the money is actually going towards the ticket. YOu can purchase the ticket for them on line. I mean they obviously want you to trust them enough for you to sent them cash, so why wouldn't they trust you enough to give you their information such as their full name and destination etc... in able for you to purchase this ticket. Get the idea?

purchase him an eticket and characteristic him %. it up at a loose library. some places fee a remedial value like 10 cents an internet site. i understand he's down on no longer ordinary success, yet he could have the skill to get an eticket. this avoids the present value that greyhound imposes, or shifts it on your credit card. greyhound additionally makes it possible for funds circulate, yet there's a cost for that. are you able to mail him a cost ticket and/or a funds order for $10, which he can funds at a positioned up workplace or economic corporation?

Its sweeet of you to think of them, but dont trust this person. You really shouldnt trust anyone unless you know them personally (especially when it has to do with $$$)

No, it sounds like a scam. I don't give money to people I don't know.
