Hello,

This message may be coming to you as a surprise but I need your help.Few days back my family and I made an unannounced vacation trip to London,UK.Everything was going fine until last night when we were mugged on our way back to the hotel.They Stole all our cash,credit cards and cellphone but thank God we still have our lives and passport.Another shocking thing is that the hotel manager has been unhelpful to us for reasons i don't know. I'm writing you from a local library cybercafe..I've reported to the police and after writing down some statements that's the last i had from them.i contacted the consulate and all i keep hearing is they will get back to me. Our return flight leaves soon...I need you to help me out with a loan to settle our bills here so we can get back home . I'll refund the money as soon as we get back. All i need is $1,850 USD..Let me know if you can get me the money then I will let you know how to get it to me.

Thanks

Yes, I received one just like it not so long ago. A hoax to get their hands on your money Carol

This person lives as far as I know in UK and would not be needing US dollars, but it says it come from his email address!

Just another Scam. Mark it as junk and delete it.

On no account send money Carol. Somehow they get into an e mail address and use that, sending to people in the address book. Truly it is a scam/hoax.

l had a simular one a couple of weeks ago....AND....
In our local paper a man in the Forest found out his name was used in a simular email.....people received emails saying he had lost all of his belongings, l think he had supposedly been robbed too, but he still had his plane ticket!!!
The real man wanted to put the story in paper because it was'nt true. The real man was actually abroad too at the time, so someone had found his name via card payments or hotel details etc!!! and his email address.

very worrying is'nt it, what next??
