These are common place all over the internet.  I really believe that you should never send money to unsolicited requests for charity.  If you really believe the person is sincere, point them to a charitable foundation.  Most of these scams come from Nigeria and Benin with operatives in Europe to pick up the money.  Please be careful.  They prey on people with good hearts

Salams,
I have had several messages in my pm that is simular to this.  My people call it 419, like a scam.  People that are really doing this should be ashamed but they are not, only Allah knows the situation that would make someone do this,  Just be careful my brothers and sisters.  And to the scamer, All that we do, we want Allah to be pleased!
