Yvonne is back in Goa (after a visit to family in Australia), safe and sound, but still trying to recover her email account with help from Gmail. Please DO NOT believe an email which comes your way if it says something like what is below. These emails are NOT being sent out by Yvonne. As you know, these dubious set of phishers somehow get access to your password, pose as you and then try to con your contacts into sending money, etc. QUOTE In the field of computer security, phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. UNQUOTE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing Rgds, FN Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490 *** Phishing message, please don't believe this *** Apologies for having to reach out to you like this, but I made a quick trip to the UK and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and credit cards in it. The embassy has coopreated by issuing a temporal passport, I just have to pay for a ticket and settle Hotel bills. Unfortunately for me, I can't have access to funds without my credit card, I've made contact with my bank but the best they could do was to send me a new card in the mail which will take 2-3 working days to arrive here.I was thinking of asking you to lend me some quick funds that I can give back as soon as I get in. I really need to be on a last minute flight that leaves in a few hours. I can forward you details on how you can get the funds to me. You can reach me via ([email protected]) as am logged on via a smart device or hotel's desk phone, the number is, 01144131) 229 2120.
