I received the emails below and have since then contacted western union regarding. I was told that this was a fraud. I have not forwarded any monies and do not plan to. I just want to report what happened. I have since found out that someone hacked into the person's facebook account. On her facebook account she has acknowledges that a scam is going around using their email address.
Thanks for the email, i think you have it sent using your credit card online to the information i gave to you earlier. Www.westernunion.com. Keep me posted as soon as you are done with the transfer..

I understand your delimma, but due to my loss of my job my recent divorce, I do not have $1,650USD on hand. I don't know if the hotel will do this, but I could give them something toward your charges via credit card. If it's possible, I would need the necessary information including the name of the hotel, phone number and a person to contact. I only have around $200USD that I could apply toward your bill.

Just hoping this email reaches you well, I'm sorry for this emergency and for not informing you about my urgent trip to London, United Kingdom but I just have to let you know my present predicament. Everything was fine until I was attacked on my way back to the hotel, I wasn't hurt but I lost my money, bank cards, mobile phone and my bag in the course of
this attack. I immediately contacted my bank in order to block my cards and also made a report at the nearest police station. I've been to the embassy and they are helping me with my documentation so i can fly out but I'm urgently in need of some money to pay for my hotel bills and my flight ticket home, will definitely REFUND as soon as back home.
Kindly let me know if you would be able to help me out so I can forward you the details required for a wire transfer. Waiting to hear back from you..
Thanks
Jo-Ann..
