How you doing? I made a trip to Milan (Italy) unannounced some days back, Unfortunately i got mugged at gun point last night! All cash, Credit card and phones were stolen, i got messed up in another country, stranded in Milan, fortunately my passport was back in my hotel room. It was a bitter experience and i was hurt on my right hand, but would be fine. I am sending you this message cos i don't want anyone to panic, I want you to keep it that way for now!my return flight leaves in 3 days time but I’m having troubles sorting out the hotel bills, wondering if you could loan me some money to sort out the hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport about (1200.00euro). I have been to the police and embassy here, but they aren't helping issues, I have limited means of getting out of here,I canceled my cards already and made a police report, I won’t get a new card number till I get back home! So I really need your help.
I don't have a phone where i can be reached. please let me know immediately,would definitely refund it to you once I arrive
Hope to hear from you soon
Thanks for your help
Michael.'

Apparently this has become a common scam.
Thanks Bob. I'd be interested if anyone can explain how it works. Thanks.
