Hello, I am sorry to have been writing you instead of calling you for an urgent assistance which i am about asking ,this is due to my current situation and i do not have access to a phone,this has left me in no choice than to write and i would be happy if you could treat this as urgent.. I am only chanced to get a computer at a nearby public library here in Wales. I am currently here in Wales,United Kingdom With Cindy on a short visit,it was fun but unfortunately something terrifying happened last night.....I never knew they uses gun in UK.. I got mugged and robbed on my way to the hotel i was deprived of everything i had on me, cash and credit card,it was such a crazy experience... I have been to the nearby police but they promised to investigate the matter and i have been to the embassy as well to make a report on the matter and they promised to see to it but i would need to get them police report on the matter.. Right now i need some money to clear our bill with the hotel and also i would be needing some money to get our flying ticket back home,thank GOD they never made it away with my passport ,it would have been a different case by now. Well,i am requesting for a quick loan from you and promise to repay you as soon as i return home, all i need is 1780.00 pounds i would like to know if i would get this from you.

It is spam and his computer has been hacked by a virus. I got one of these from a friend who I knew had plenty of money and would never have an issue even if she were stuck in the UK.like the topic says, anyone else get that email?

Don't forget about MalwareBytes. The free version makes you update it every time you use it.

I was supposed to send change?I love the ones on CL or ebay, you get an email from a guy stating he will buy your item for 100 or more than your asking. BUT hes in a different country, will send you an cashiers check for alot and ask you send him the change back ......right.....
I use to get those ALL the time. Especially when I was selling something rather expensive. I liked how the person would always refer to my merchandise as "the item" rather than what it specifically was.I love the ones on CL or ebay, you get an email from a guy stating he will buy your item for 100 or more than your asking.

That or maybe a fake check/money order hoping youll send "the item" before you or the bank finds out its fake.centermass wrote:I use to get those ALL the time.

Last year, I had a gold plated Diamond watch that I was asking $3,000 for (easily worth $5,000), and this "guy" (or bot), was offering me $3,500 and was offering to pay shipping. I'm not really sure what the idea behind the scam is. Maybe get me to send the product out before he sends the money out?
