One other person that I know of has gotten this same phishing letter and his name also happens to Robert but he is a Kinkade. It's impossible for any phisher to get names from a Rootsweb mail list. There are too many hoops to jump through. One has to type the letters/numbers to get a single address. There is also a program where the email address is within a noise screen to prevent a cruising thing from picking it up. Sometimes I will get a phishing letter from myself. Weird.

I don't mean to inconvenience you right now, I made a trip to UK and I misplaced my luggage that contains my passport and credit cards. I know this may sound odd but it all happened very fast. I need to get a new passport and a ticket, but I'm short of funds. Please, can you lend me some funds to get a ticket? I will pay you back. Please respond as soon as you get this message, so I can forward you my details to send funds to me, OR you can drop a message via the hotel's desk phone if you can. The number is, +447045733705.
