" "Joy" is really a Nigerian Prince trying to bring back his family's fortune. " - no, Rose, not on this occasion :)

It was my yahoo email account that had been compromised; it is watertight secure again now :)

And the scam was reported to [email protected].

"Joy" is really a Nigerian Prince trying to bring back his family's fortune.

Don't you all just want to help by sending him your credit card details, mother's maiden name, sorting code, etc?

Rose

I also received this email today using the name of some one on Genes, a name i regonised, i don't think it's connected to Facebook because i don't have any member's from Genes on my Facebook friend's list... :-S

I am sure Linda knows this now but she is being kind enough to warn the rest of us stan.

Linda, I think it is somehow connected with Facebook.

My regrets for this sudden request, I have been involved in a robbery during my trip to Barcelona, Spain. I was mugged and all my belongings cash, cellphone and credit cards were all stolen at "gun point". Its a terrible experience for me. I need your help flying back home as I am trying to raise 2,600 euros.


I have made contact with my bank but the best they can do is to mail me a new card which will take 2 to 4 days to arrive here. I need you to lend me money, will pay back once I get this over with.


Western Union Transfer is the fastest option to wire funds to me. Let me know if you need my details(Full names/location) to effect a transfer. You can reach me via email or the hotel's desk phone +34962463145

Hi All
I have just received an e-mail which pretends to be from a member of GR

Please ignore this if any of you also receive it and certainly don't send anything

I have e-mailed the member concerned too
