Once again, the "Help me, I've been robbed in Spain" email scam has appeared. This morning, I found an email from Greg Howard's email address as follows:
"I Hope you get this on time. My family and i had a trip to Spain for a short vacation, we were robbed on our way to the hotel we lodged, all cash,credit card and cell were stolen but luckily for us we still have our lives safe and our passport with us. I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping situation matters. I'm having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills. Am freaked out at the moment.
Patricia"
Since I spoke with Greg the day before yesterday, I am fairly certain that he is still stateside. Someone obviously hacked his address book. Be on the watch for these scam emails.
