List members, I'm wondering if the email below is spam.
It certainly is a bizarre story.

Can any of the moderators check into this?

Subject: [WebAIM] a very, very important warning to all the members

To each and every single one of the members on this mailing list.

My name is Maheen Wickramasinghe. I am 28 years old, and I am visually
impaired in both eyes. I have been blind all my life. Now, please, I am
going to ask you, to all take a deep, deep breath, and calm down I mean no
harm to any of you.

I have a psychiatric condition. I have a mental disorder. I have anxiety,
severe OCD, epilepsy, and insomnia. I found out late last night that I have
developed type 2 diabetes, and my apetite has been so severely drained and
my sleep has literally been altered.

There is a blind person, on lists, who is a cold hearted, mean spirited,
vitious, heartless person, by the name of Andrew Edjcumbe. He made me all
over the map a few days ago, and sank me into a deep depression, and I
attempted suicide. He is a nasty, severely nasty bully and he sent the most
crudest, most vitious, ugliest email to me, bullying and bullying me and it
was just so abusive, violent and nasty!!! Friends, Andrew, is a vitious
human being and a very sick individual. He is saying to me that I do not
deserve friends or family. Can you possibly imagine how a person could scoop
so low to say such things to a mentally ill person? He is even abusive to
another sighted friend who's name will not be mentioned on this list. He is
a down right sick individual. I am changing my email address as of today, so
please get me out of this group. I do not trust blind people any longer. I
am finished. I have developed type 2 diabetes, and can't eat, nor sleep. I
am very, very hurt, distraught, and upset deeply. If it hadn't been for
country gospel singer Jimmie Davis, my life would never have been so full of
happiness. He has literally been helping me get through the vitious things
Andrew did to me. His email is:
<EMAIL REMOVED>

Somebody has supposedly told him I gossiped about him behind his back, which
I did not. Leave me alone. Lead me be!!! I do not trust anybody. I'm done!

Now, do not bother sending me abusive emails because I can't go through
abuse any longer as my life is beginning to become a lot calmer, and
happier. Thank you for reading, and do not, I repeat do not, trust Mr.
Edjcumbe. He and his friend, Mr. Lamborti say they helped me, what a
completely retarded statement. They bullied me so severely and they upset my
family, friends, and everyone as I attempted suicide very badly. My energy
is literally drained. Andrew is going to be jailed anyway as my dad has
contacts with people who know attornies.
