Don Sherman in Trouble?

I just got this email from Don Sherman and wondering if its a hoax or should we try and help him.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and I came over here to London,United Kingdom for a short vacation. unfortunately,we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash and credit card were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.


We've been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in few hours from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills. Well I really need your financial assistance..Please, Let me know if you can help us out? Am freaked out at the Moment.


Don Sherman......

Jack dont send nothing it is a scam,the same exact story that u say is the same my friend was told,they hacked into his computer and stoled his info,then these scamers called my friend with the same story as they told you,these people(scamers)are very good at what they do,but not good enough!
 
Scam

I got one on Wednesday but it was a different person and they were in Spain and wanted money. It's a scam.
 
This same thing happened to my AOL eMail account last year. Whenever I sent an eMail the receiver would automatically go on my 'contact' list. That's what was hacked into. To stop it I had to delete the contact list and changed my settings to not let receivers go on a contact list.
 
This is a classic scam, I can't believe people still fall for it. It is usually from England too for some reason. DO NOT do anything until you have personally spoken to him.
 
Jack...it's absolutely a scam!! I think this scam first surfaced about 4 years ago now. They intentionally play on your heart-strings, as they figure that some people would do just about anything to help out a friend in need.

If you are still unsure, you can contact the American Embassy in London to see if Don is in fact abroad at the moment.

Scam alert

HUGE SCAM, Don Sherman, the real one has had my Yahoo email account scammed. [ my fault ] trying to quit smoking habit, my mind not working properly, i fell into a trap. getting a email from Yahoo [ looks as real as being from Yahoo ] saying: because of to much congestion, that all yahoo customers needed to update, because if no response, would be removed if account wasn't updated. this FOOL responded, they stole all contacts, emails, etc. etc. currently have no contacts, no email, or even spam. changed password, but trying to get through to Yahoo to renew, contacts etc, is a big runaround. can't find a way of contacting Yahoo to do this, but working on that. i'm stuck in Michigan as usual. thanks for concerns, but i'm OK, i think!!!! don

Don Sherman......

Someone hacked his email account. DO NOT send any money!!!

If you want to help him give him a call and let him know his account has been hacked.
 
I got a very similar one about a year ago.. I emailed him back that the owner of the account was an FBI agent and that whoever had hacked the account was in some deep sh#t..wasn't true but I figured I would make them sweat it a little...
 
Its a Scam

if they want you to send the money western union watch out
more than likely a scam.

chances are one of you has a virus on your computer that has generated all of your email addresses, and is sending it ot everyone on the mailing list.
BE CAREFUL
