I am writing to you with Tears, My family and I came down here to Manila, Philippines for Holiday, Unfortunately we were mugged at the park, All money, credit card and Phones were stolen away from us, luckily for us we still have our passports saved with us. We have been to the consulate but they are not helping at all, Our return flight leaves soon but we are having some financial problems sorting our hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we sort the bills.
We need your help with a loan of ($1,750). or whatever amount you can spare right now, I promise to refund you back as soon as we return back home. Please let me know what you can do so that i can let you know how to get the money to us now.
Regards Kevin
I received this scam email.
It's obviously a fake.
These thieves are depending on people's good hearts, mostly the elderly.
$10 from 170 people adds up to a nice number.
I looked up the name of Kevin and picked out a face fitting this scammer.
He's probably a very nice guy.
Same as all of us and he has nothing to do with this letter.
Guilt by association.
And no one executes this better than Homeland Security.
ps I only need $1000.
Seriously.
