Yes, I Really Did Get This Email Today

Re: Help

Dear Allison,

This is a terrible story I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the stress. Of course I will loan you $1500 dollars – being that I know you, trust you and that I have never heard of a scam like this ever. So I know for sure you are telling the truth and aren’t just some fat guy sitting at a computer in a hot dark room with a cigarette hanging off your lip, drinking a beer and waiting for some schmo to respond to your scam and send you cash.

So, according to your address you are staying at a computer workshop: http://www.brokencomputers.co.uk/whitecross Penzance Computers Workshop 01736 888202 01736 888202 – 36b Market Jew Street, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 2HT.

Perhaps I should just give you a call and we can get this thing figured out right now. Thank goodness for the Internet or else I might not know where to find you so that I could deliver your cash right away. And just to be sure you are OK I will be contacting this place of business and letting them know your situation and to be expecting an envelope full of cash.

 I will be in touch Allison – stay strong!

Hi! Hope you get this on time. I am writing you in a tensed mood and urgently require your kind aid soon. I made a trip to Penzance (United Kingdom) for a program. Unfortunately for me, I got mugged at gun point last night on my way to the hotel where I booked. They went away with all i had including my wallet where i have all my cash and also my cell phone. I wasn’t injured because I quickly complied. My traveling documents are been apprehended by the hotel management because of my inability to settle bills. I reported to the police and they only asked me to write a statement about the incident and later referred me to the embassy. I contacted our embassy here but they are not responding effectively to the matter. I am confused and so full of panic right now.

For now, I do not have a phone where i can be reached. All i have got here is my mail which i have limited access to. Please I need you to kindly loan me about (1,500 US Dollars) or any amount to sort-out my hotel bills and other expenses incurred here and get back home soon as i do not feel safe here anymore. I Promise to reimburse immediately on my return. I will explain full details to you when i get back. I will appreciate any amount you can quickly arrange and send to me via Western Union with the details below. Receivers Names: white Allison Receivers Address/location:36b Market Jew Street Penzance, TR18 2HT, United kingdom Please Write to me the full details of the transfer or scanned copy of the transfer receipt so that i can receive over here quickly. Let me know if you can be of any help soon because you are the only person i can reach at this moment and the next flight back home departs in about 2 days.

Hope I can count on you.
