Guest guest Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 its a scam..... Tragic Situation....Help Needed (Ernesto ) I'm writing this with tears in my eyes my Family and I came down here to London,United kingdom for a short vacation,unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us. We've been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all the bad news is our flight will be leaving in less than 6-hrs from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Somebody hijacked my email a while back and sent a similar message to the group. Nobody believed it because a) I'd never visit a place where I was forced to go unarmed, and I was asking for hotel money after being mugged, not bail money or blood donations. > > Thanks and glad it's a scam > Ron > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Jul 29, 2011, at 6:13 PM, Wes Ogilvie wes.ogilvie@... > > wrote: > > > I called Ernie and told him. > > > > Wes > > > > On the move from my iPhone > > > > On Jul 29, 2011, at 16:19, Steve Schecter rangrsteve@... > > wrote: > > > > > http://www.snopes.com/fraud/distress/family.asp > > > > > > > > > > > > > From: Ron Haussecker haussecker87@... > > > > > > Subject: Fw: Tragic Situation....Help Needed > (Ernesto ) > > > > To: texasems-l > > > > Date: Friday, July 29, 2011, 4:59 PM > > > > I’m sure and praying this is a > > > > scam, but I got this in my private email today, so heads up > > > > Ernie.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 More importantly, if they're sending to people on an EMS list they obviously haven't been following the fact that EMS personnel never have any money anyway...
