Post by: Mick Milakovic on February 01, 2013, 09:37:01 AM
Hi Bob, and all who read this, I received this email from an internet thief who hacked Bob's email...Don't fall for this trick, I know Bob didn't send it!

Hi All,
   Just writing to let you know our trip to England, with my family has been a mess. We were having a great time until last night when we  got mugged and lost all my cash,credit card cellphone It has been a scary experience, I was hit at the back of my neck with a club. Anyway...... I'm still alive and that's whats important. I'm financially strapped right now and need your help. I need  you to loan me some money, I'll refund it to you as soon as i arrive home.Write me back so i can tell you how to get it to me.

Thanks,
Bob

I just got my e-mail message about "poor" o'l Bob.

I didn't even know that he left the country. I didn't even know that he could afford to travel outside the country. [:0]

For those of you who use facebook, expect to see more of this kind of scams on that media. Put blocks and restrictions on who can access your page(s). The thieves are out there and getting bolder and more refined in their ways.

Yes it is for sure a scam.  Just talked to Bob and he didn't get hit in the neck. Do not open any email from Robert Wardlow.

'Didn't get it but I've heard of it. Norton 360 on board here. It's more like close to $70 but it's pretty ruthless. 'Pays to check your (always full) Spam folder from time to time!
 By the way, I'm stranded here in the sticks trying to restore a '68 S/Tanker and would appreciate funds in any amount toward that end, which I will happily return to you at some point in time. Feel free to contact me! Paypal, Cash, Postal MO, personal checks, pledges, promises, (and loose change) accepted.    Cheers,  Fred
