ab6262 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just received this email : Hello I'm sorry for not telling you about my trip to Madrid,I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to Spain,Europe 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 for us 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 and our flight leaves in less than hours from now but having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills,I'm freaked out at the moment.wondering if you could help us with a quick loan, I promise I'll refund it once we get home. Please write me so i can send you the info for the wire of the money to save me from the embarrassment of not being able to cover the bills. Thanks. I've rung my friend's home phone no. & there's no reply. She could well have gone away, as I've been away & just got back. The email was sent to "undisclosed recipients" & the odd thing is that she says "vacation" and "Spain Europe". Has anyone else had one of these? I haven't replied & would be so glad of advice. Thanks sorry if you actually need to ask then you deserve to be ripped off:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
