Apparently someone has lifted some info. from my wife's facebook page. Several of her friends received this e-mail regarding me. See below. This is just a FYI.

I made a trip to London England without prior notice, unfortunately i assaulted at gunpoint last night!By some armed men.

All the cash, credit card and phone were stolen,we are stranded in London, fortunately passport was back in my hotel room. It was a bitter experience and I injured my right hand, but would be fine.

I went to the police and the embassy here, but they are aid issues, have limited means to get out of here

I am stuck and stranded over here i really need help in getting back home.

I need to borrow some money from you.

You could wire the cash down to me through western union it is the safest and fastest means i can get cash here

Let me know if you can be of help I will definately make the refund to you once i get back! Hopefully today

I await your prompt response.


I suppose Chuck won't help since I called his 240SD a flat-bottomed something or another.

:lol::smt043:lol:

I wonder if I can get people to send the money to my PayPal account:grin:
 
What's a "Face Book" something like pressing one's face into a book and letting it dry like flowers and butterflies? LOL :smt043:smt043
 
Hey, SeaRide, that sounds like something you would do. :grin:

That sucks. Had it happen to me on My Space years ago, figured out what happened that time and has not happened since, one thing you need is a real secure password, and be sure you know where you are entering it.

I was on FB earlier today conversing with Mister bolts and his other half, they told me about it, were not sure I was me until I mentioned some that we had talked about earlier.
