I'm wary on anyone who has a Christian name for a surname - David Cameron for example.

Leave well alone.

ha its them with 2 surnames as a name you gotta be careful of

Harrison Ford is one.

even worse tho is those who do surname first Christian name second

Ridley Scott.

I Dont want to worry you but I am starting to think this could be a con'. The same guy emailed me last week so I duly sent the money off. Now he is asking you for the same amount. And he has not responded since I sent it

I was amazed by the friend of a work colleague


One minute he was abroad asking for assistance after a mugging

Two minutes later he came back from lunch

blast i've just sent all my money to a poor starving young single mother in russia to pay for heating, if i can find any pennies lying about they will be going to this
although i've been promised payment for my PPI claim for that road traffic accident i was involved in so i'm sure that should cover it

..... an we do have a helipad

well there we go then no wonder your colleague travels about a fair bit and very quickly!
if i had a heli pad and a fast chopper i'd go and have lunch with my grand parents or mates in Sweden and then pop back to school for lessons!
Cheers Ed

Just received this email:

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about our trip, because it was impromptu. We had to be in Kiev, Ukraine, for a Tour..the program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. We misplaced our wallets and cell phones on our way back to the hotel after we went for sight seeing. The wallet contains all the valuables we have. Now, our luggage is in custody of the hotel management pending when we make payment.

I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but I have only very few people to turn to now. I will be very grateful if I can get a short term loan of ($1,950) from you. This will enable me sort our hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford at this moment. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. Please let me know if you can be of any assistance.

Thanks
Michael Martin

Sadly I can't help him but if anyone can send me the $1,950 be assured I'll send it on to him straight away

I received one like that from my sister, but she was in Africa somewhere (apparently). They ought to do their research better as my sister doesn't do anything more exotic that Wales or Ireland. She is usually less polite too

I also noticed recently a new one in the mis-selling phone calls, this one was telling me that I'd been mis-sold solar panels and my house didn't face due south.

Howdy Michael,

Because of the ever-growing risk of internet fraud, the most secure way of transferring the funds - which I am only too happy to pay to get you out of your current fix - would be for you to send me your bank details and home address so I can access your account and I will directly transfer funds to this as soon I receive these details from you.

Ever happy to extend a hand across the oceans.

Yours etc....

You allowing for the obvious distress she'd be in?
