Strange emails from Bernice

[Peter Lemkin]

If you get any emails from me, today especially from some jerk asking for money,they are not from moi, this has already happened, but they were wise and contacted me here, i will let you know if and when this is corrected, this is such a lovely world that of research ain't it, now beware of your own...best b

this is what was received by magda, hope that's ok to mention your name, thanks again, i had already contacted my server but i did not, know to the extent whomever will try to take this, so watch your mail, save any i would think if you get one, it may help the server in tracking them, thanks best b..

Here is the text of the email:

I'm Sorry I didn't inform you about my trip to Spain for a program,I am presently in Madrid Spain,something extremely awful happened to me,I was mugged at gun point on my way to the Hotel by some Hoodlums and they made away with my Bag and other valuables. Presently my things are been held down by the hotel management due to my inability to pay the hotel bills which I currently owe,they even had to restrict my access to the hotel facilitates until outstanding bills are cleared and i don't have any money on me again,i had to walk down to the city library in order to send you this email.I have spoken to the embassy here but they are not responding effectively to the matter.

This is really shameful,I need you to help me with a loan of 2,600 Euro to pay my hotel bills and get my self back home.I will reimburse you soon as I get back Home, with all the interest.I will appreciate whatever you can assist me with. Let me know Immediately

Bernice

damn foolishness.

I got it and responded [that I didn't even have that kind of money]...but they wrote back any amount would do....so that wasn't you? CAn you use your email account or is it under their control? Contact the RCMP and Interpol immediately to have them track this down! The Nigerian Scam scaled - down and up front and personal!:thumbsdown: It likely went a used EVERY address in your addressbook, so quick find a program that can send a REAL message to ALL in your addressbook! I'd also do a malware and virus scan. It may lie dormant and try another message to all.
