LONDON (Reuters) - British police launched a probe Tuesday after the family of one of the victims of last year's tsunami disaster received a hoax e-mail claiming their relative had been found alive in a Thai hospital.

London police described the bogus e-mail, purporting to come from a non-governmental organization called "Missing Tsunami Victims" and sent to at least one family stating their loved one was still alive, as "despicable."

"The message is clearly distressing for the recipient and the (police) would like to assure anyone receiving this message that it is a hoax," a spokesman said.

Pleasure knowing that they're hurting others. This is called human-nature, it doesn't change.

I believe the word is Schadenfreude. And this is disgusting, by the way.

Schadenfreude is taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. It's actually something everyone does, to some extent. It is not taking actions that will lead to the misfortune of others.
