AURORA-After receiving complaints from neighboring nations about stolen information, the Government has issued a statement warning all internet and e-mail users of a phishing scam potentially from a former AHSCA islander.

The scam details of a supposedly a young single mother with three children who lost everything she had including her husband and young baby. The mail includes instructions of how much money to be sent to an off-shore account. The Federal Government has been working to find the culprit however the person has been quite clever in hiding any trace of him.

At present citizens are prohibited from asking for private charity donations, all requests must be done through a Federal Program. The name tends to varrie along with the amount of children. Sometimes an age is given, usually very young, 16-19 and there is no set island. All islands have been used to their proper advantage.

"The person really knows their history of the islands," Stilleståndö militia Commander Rosette said. "He's clever."

At present the Government says only give to sanctioned international charities set for AHSCA.
