Smitty Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 This morning i got this in my inbox: I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my fam and I came down here to Wales,United Kingdom for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off from us luckily for us we still have our passports with us. We've been to the United State Embassy and the Police here in Wales but they're not helping issues at all but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills,i'm freaked out at the moment... Dean Goulet. Dean is a stand up guy that i have known for many years. If anybody near Wales can provide some sort of support for them please send me a message so I can get you in contact with him. Even if its a just a place to crash for a night it would be appreciated. Thanks Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 It appears that this is a fraud. After swapping a couple emails I realized the emails were too impersonable to be real. I guess his email has been hijacked. Its still a pretty nasty scheme. Thanks for everyone that volunteered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Now that you mention this is a scam, it reminded me of something I've heard about this happening on sites like Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
