Watch out for scams to get money in YOUR EMAIL

Unread postby Bruce Caldwell » Tue Nov 25, 2008 11:19 am

I BELIEVE THE WHOLE pole VAULT POWER list may be getting these emails from familiar people saying they are stranded in the UK!
Example:
How are you doing ? I am so sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling to UK for a program, I am presently in London,i am stranded here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money,and other valuable things were kept.I will like you to assist me with a soft loan urgently with the sum of 1800 Pounds to sort-out my hotel bills and get myself back home. I will appreciate whatever you can afford, i'll pay you back as soon as i return.

Thank you
XXXX XXXXX

After my reply to help!
I would prefer a money transfer through western union .I still have my passport ,the name on my passport is XXX XXXXX,and my address is 45 Bernard Street ,E16 2PB ,London UK .Use this details to transfer the funds ,email me once the transfer is done .



I was able to confirm from this coach's son that he is not in the UK and someone had gotten his email to send such scams.
please beware
