Email/Internet Hoax

[RichLB]

I can't imagine anyone is foolish enough to fall for this one, but a heads up might save someone here grief. I received the following email a couple hours ago....
....................
Apologies for having to reach out to you like this, I made a trip early this week to London, UK and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and credit cards in it. The embassy is willing to help by letting me fly without my passport, I just have to pay for a ticket and settle Hotel bills. Unfortunately for me, I can't have access to funds without my credit card, I've made contact with my bank but they need more time to come up with a new one. I was thinking of asking you to lend me some quick funds that I can give back as soon as I get in. I really need to be on the next available flight.


I can forward you details on how you can get the funds to me. You can reach me via email or Park hotel's desk phone, the number is +447024014792. I await your response......

I contacted my friend, Janie, and have received confirmation that it is indeed a hoax. I guess someone hijacked her email address book and used the info there to try to get some good hearted suckers to fork over some cash.
