I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, I came down here to United Kingdom for a

 short vacation unfortunately i was mugged at the park of the hotel where i

stayed,all cash,credit card and cell phone were stolen off me but luckily for me

i still have my passport with me.

I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at

all and my return flight leaves in few hours from now but am having problems

settling the hotel bills and the hotel  manager won't let me leave until i

settle the bills.I'm freaked out at the moment.

What is crazy about that email. My mom got one from our friend. It was a little

believable because he does visit the UK (his kids mother lives there) but my mom

called him. He reported it to the cops or something. So ya total scam

yeah... I almost fell for the first " stranded in the UK'  email I got. Little

did I know she wasn't in the UK at all but home safe and sound.  Now

scammers are using the names(emails) of people we know...very sneaky. 

 

The online scams are getting worse...so watch out!
