Just got this from him, lets team up and get this guy home! Who's got some money?

Hello,

I'm sorry I didn't inform you about our trip to Manila, Philippines unannounced some days back.

My family and I came down here to Manila, Philippines for a short vacation, But unfortunately for us we were mugged last night at the park of the hotel were we lodged in. Our money, cell phones, credit cards, diary's, return tickets got stolen during the robbery incident, luckily for us we still have our life's and passports saved. We can't even pay our hotel bills right now, and the hotel management won't let us leave until we settle the bills.

The Embassy and the Police over here are not responding to the matter effectively, they ask us to came back in 3weeks but we can't wait till then as our return flight leaves pretty soon from now. We need to pick up a voucher tickets at the counter for us to catch a flight back home as soon as possible. Please I need your financial assistance right now. I need you to loan me some money, So we can pay off the hotel bills and also get a return ticket. I promise to pay back as soon as we arrive home. Please let me know if you will be able to help out, So I can tell what to do and how to send the money to us over here.

Thanks,

Capt. Lance Walker



Sad that some people fall for these. Lance, you've been hacked!

What gave it away was the word 'diary', Lance would never use that word.

Reply back to the email and see what they tell you. It could make for a comical afternoon.

Just answer one question, remember the trip last year where the guy fell off the front of the boat and with your bean bag? What platform where we tied off to?

Hell yes, please do this.

Or reply and say, "Sorry you got mugged. We'll raid the Rigs to Reefs account to get you home."

Got this from both emails I sent. Looks like they'll just send a generic response.

Glad to hear back from you. All we need is $2,550 USD to sort out all our expenses. I promise to refund it to you as soon as we arrive home. You can have it wired to me Via Western Union Money Transfer from any nearby WU Outlet closer to you.

Here are the details you need to get it to us -

Receiver's Name : Lance Walker
Receiver's Address : : Metropolitan Ave 1008, 2F Expocraft Building,
Makati City 1205 Metro Manila
Country : Manila, Philippines
Amount : $2,550 USD

As soon as you have the money sent,kindly get back to me with the western union money transfer confirmation number(MTCN #). Let me know if you are heading to the WU outlet now?

Thanks,
Capt. Lance Walker

I'm sorry. That's too much. I was thinking about sending a dollar or two. I don't have much money.

You should've responded with.

Ok buddy, I have sent the cash via WU. WUCN is 12673-07A. Hope you get back safe and sound.

That way this jackleg would have to carry his arse down there to argue with the WU lady over why he can't get his funds.
