Be careful out there - I just got a scam email posing as a digest piece from: [email protected]; on behalf of; John Paradiso [[email protected]]
I have copied the email below. Peace, Ben Hi, How you doing? We made a trip to London (United Kingdom) unannounced some days back, Unfortunately we got mugged at gun point last night! All cash, Credit card and phone were stolen, we got messed up in another country, stranded in London, fortunately passport was back in my hotel room. It was a bitter experience and i was hurt on my right hand, but would be fine. I am sending you this message cos i don't want anyone to panic, we want you to keep it that way for now! Our return flight leaves in a few hours but I m having troubles sorting out the hotel bills, wondering if you could loan me some money to sort out the hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport about ($2000). I have been to the police and embassy here, but they aren't helping issues, I have limited means of getting out of here, we canceled our cards already and made a police report, I won t get a new card number till I get back home! So I really need your help.You could wire whatever you can spare to my name and hotel address via Western union: John Paradiso 272, Coriander Avenue, Docklands, E14 2AA , London United Kingdom Get back to me with the details, would def refund it to you once we arrive! Hopefully tomorrow I await your prompt response.
