enterprising college student

I just read an article where a young man has been e-mailing people to send him money for his college expenses. He promises a piece of his college graduation gown if they send $2.50. It is actually not a scam and is actually working. So far he has received over $6,000. I guess his mother is on disability and his dad works three jobs. His college loans do not cover all the expenses, so the rather enterprising young man came up with this idea. Would you send money to someone you don't know if you received an e-mail pleading for money?
