For grins, I once replied to one of those, saying that I had wired the money
to the police station, and they could pick it up there.

This is a common scam.  Effective, because they hijack your eMail address
book and send a message that seems very legitimate.  In the age of CELL
PHONES however, it is easy enough to round robin with your friends and
family to verify the information.   I have received about a half dozen of
these in the past few years.

 

Hope it all worked out well enough.

Well, I received a full refund with a letter of apology, as it seems that
the funds had already been secured. 

 

Michael, did you get your money back, or were Sandor's funds accepted?

That's the con - you know the person and will likely send money...  when you
are robbed and assaulted in another country, the american embassy can get
you back home.   I would definitely call my friend Mike before sending
money...

I'm with family on vacation in Madrid Spain, I know I didn't mention
anything about it to you but we are in trouble, we were mugged last night in
an alley by a gang of thugs on our way back from shopping, one of them had a
knife poking my neck for almost two minutes and everything we had on us
including my cell phone, credit cards were all stolen, quite honestly it was
beyond a dreadful experience for us but looking on the bright side we
weren't seriously hurt or injured and we are still alive so that is whats
important. I've reported to the cops here and canceled all our cards, it
appeared I had acted quickly enough or they almost would have succeeded in
cleaning out my bank account. I'm really having some difficulties clearing
our hotel bills and also need to pick up a voucher ticket at the counter for
us to catch a flight back home as soon as possible

All we need right now is 1,850 Euro but anything you can spare pending when
we get things straightened out will be appreciated and I promise to refund
you as soon as we arrive home safely, western union is the best way to get
money across to us. Please get back to me as soon as possible to let you
know how you can get the money across to us.

Thanks
Mike and Miranda
