Re: [Cz-L] Fw: RE: HELP!!!!

Dear Arthur et al,

Our moderator Bruce is entirely right -

This is one of several scams going around lately.
There are hackers going into people's address books
and sending these mass emails to everyone on the list.
If you get one - DELETE it - do NOT reply to it.

Hi, I'm writing this with great grievance .I'm presently in London,United
Kingdom for a short vacation and I'm stuck...And really it was unannounced.
I was attacked by four armed robbers on my way back to the hotel where i
lodged.I was robbed and completely embarrassed. All my cash,credit cards and
cellphone was stolen.

I reported the incident to the embassy and the Police but to my dismay they
seem not bothered...their response was just too casual.My flight is
scheduled to leave in few hours but I've got to settle my bills before I'm
allowed to leave....Now am freaked out....I need your help..
