Default Warning!!!!! Jersey(apsisusa)

I just received email asking me to send $1600.00 to help Jersey out in Spain. He was robbed. Pretty funny.... Has anyone else received this.

Have received same type emails in the past, this is obviously a scam, it has been around for a while.

There was a similar thread posting the actual email. Not just the subject matter but the 'awkward' wording and grammar is a red flag. It's sad to know scammers are targeting forums such as ours.

Pretty funny though. If you read any of jerseys posts his wording and grammar isn't so great either. Obviously it's not him, hope nobody falls for this bull.

Hello,

I'm writing this with great grievance . I'm presently in Barcelona,Spain. with my Family for a short vacation and we're stuck...And really it was unannounced. We were attacked by four armed robbers on our way back to the hotel where we lodged.we were robbed and completely embarrassed.

All our cash,credit cards and cellphone were stolen. We've reported the incident to the embassy and the Police but to my dismay they seem not bothered...their response was just too casual.Our flight leaves in few hours but We've got to settle our bills before We're allowed to leave....Now am freaked out....Please I need you to loan some money,I promise to refund you as soon as I'm back home. All i need is $1,650 .. Please Let me know what you can do?Write me back so I can tell you how to get it to me..

Email hack.

My email got hacked last year. Sent out an offer for Viagra to all my contacts including my pastor. He cornered me about it on Sunday. Nice!
