E-Mail

Post by Ron Frederiksen »

Here is an e-mail I received yesterday, Dog Gone,,, it was too late for me to send $$$$, he done missed his flight!!!! Ron


Hello

Good morning i hope you receive this on time, My family and I made a trip to Manila.Philippines,some days back for a short vacation unfortunately we got mugged at a gun point last night at the park of the hotel where we lodged all cash,credit card and cell phones, were stolen off us but lucky we still have our passports with us, I have been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all. the bad news is our flight will be leaving in less than 8-hrs from now but we are having problems settling the hotel bills. and the hotel manager won't let us leave. until we have the bills settled, we don't really have much time lift....

please I need your help financially, I promise to make the refund immediately we arrive back to the state...I do have cash in my account, but I can't access it right now because I had to cancel all my credit cards that were stolen way, I will be forever grateful if you can help me. Please respond quickly, as our flight leaves in a few hours and I need to pay my hotel bill. Please save me from the embarrassment of not being able to cover the charges.

hope to read from you soonest


Thanks,

Venda Hanley

I got it too and I've noticed others here on the Forum. All from the Phillapines with the same sad story. It's not likely to fool anyone, but it does make one angry to say it politely.
