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
