Real life: Our parish secretary made a slip and didn't use BCC in a mass email. The parish email list was nicked by someone, and we have all recieved the following SCAM EMAIL:
Subject: pls help
Apologies for having to reach out to you like this, but I made a quick trip to London,United Kingdom 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 a last minute flight that leaves in a few hours.
I can forward you details on how you can get the funds to me. You can reach me via ([email protected]) as am logged on via a smart device or hotel's desk phone, the number is, 011447014065512
Thanks
Lynn Edward
Parish Administrator
St James the Apostle, Sharon
Now you and I both know this is a scam, but there are a lot of older folks in our parish, and this lady does wonderful things to help them out. All of them would love nothing more than to lend Lynn a hand and get her home safely.
I would love nothing more than for our friendly scammer to recieve the slap of their life in return for this. Sadly I haven't the time to do it. I have sent out a mass email to teh parish instructing folks not to reply etc. But this scammer deserves a few replies. Scammers email is in the post above, unedited.
I am notifying Lynne of this post in the hopes that some of you will lend her a hand and she can follow along with the fun, while surfing safely.
All the best, Horace.
MODS: if you want to move this to teh surplus letters, I respect that. I wanted this to get as much exposure as possible, so I put it in the main forum.[/b] |

No - that is your direct line to the lad. The parish is not in the UK. |

^^^I've joined in the fun for this one and I've received a reply from the lad requesting $2,000. His IP address points to a familiar location, Lagos.
I hope no-one in your parish has sent this guy any money! |

I mailed him as well, and sent him some forms. Now, he wants me to fill them for him. Why are lads always this lazy? No wonder Nigeria is poor. :p |

So far as I know, no one has, but then would you admit it if you were sucked in? |
