Description: Several variations of this email hoax exist, each claiming a child named Penny Brown is missing, from locations as diverse as Ontario, Texas, and South Carolina. Nearly identical versions of the hoax claim Kelsey Brooke Jones and C.J. Mineo Jr as the missing children. The hoaxes have circulated for a number of years. Example of hoax email: To All: We have a store manager (Wal-Mart) from Longs, S C who has a 9 year old daughter that has been missing for 2 weeks. Keep the picture moving on. With luck on her side she will be found. I am asking you all, begging you to please forward this email on to anyone and everyone you know, PLEASE. My 9 year old girl, Penny Brown, is missing. She has been missing for now two weeks. It is still not too late. Please help us. If anyone anywhere knows anything, please contact me at: zicozicozico@hotmail.com I am including a picture of her. All prayers are appreciated!! It only takes 2 seconds to forward this on. If it was your child, you would want all the help you could get. Thank you for your kindness. Hopefully you can help us. Remember: As heartfelt as this plea sounds, the email is a hoax. Hoaxes are a waste of both time and money. Please don't forward them on to others. And if you are tempted to forward something just in case, read the article Toxic Excuses instead.
