I received an e-mail from a business associate stating that they were robbed in London and needed me to send a wire transfer for $1750. Here is the e-mail: 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..
Second e-mail: Glad you replied, please i need you to loan me about $1,750USD so i can make arrangements to sort my bills and return back home. I will refund the money back to you as soon as i get home. You can have the money wired to me via western union, all you need is my name and location.
Here is the info you need to wire the cash to me via western union:
