China tour guide scam

[ez64]

Have been planning my trip for a while and had almost decided on
nature_lunwang@hotmail.com

after a previous recommendation from a forum member here, they seemed credible and with decent communication then I received this in my junk mail a couple days ago.




I am in hurry writing you this message and i hope you get it on time, Sorry for the surprise trip to London for a Conference i made recently. It has been a very sad and bad moment for me today, the present condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain. I am really stranded here because I was attacked and robbed on the way to my hotel, all cash, document's and cell phone which i have all my contacts were stolen off me. Presently I have limited access to internet, I will like you to assist me urgently with a soft loan of £1,650 to sort-out my hotel bills and to get myself back home. I have spoken to the embassy here but they are not responding to the matter effectively, I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, I'll Refund the money back to you as soon as I get home without any delay. Write me back so that you can help me send the money through either Western Union money transfer or Money Gram money transfer.

Best Regards

If anyone was thinking about using these lot steer very well clear.

Not sure this is the right section just looked the most appropriate.
