Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 All, I got this email this morning purportedly from Attilio. with this email: attiliodalberto @ .co.uk How are you doing today? I am sorry i didn't inform you about my traveling to Africa for a program called " Empowering Youth to Fight Racism, HIV/AIDS, Poverty and Lack of Education, the program is taking place in three major countries in Africa which is Ghana , South Africa and Nigeria . It as been a very sad and bad moment for me, the present condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain. I am really stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my little bag in the Taxi where my money, passport, documents and other valuable things were kept on my way to the Hotel am staying, I am facing a hard time here because i have no money on me. I am now owning a hotel bill of $1200 and they wanted me to pay the bill soon else they will have to seize my bag and hand me over to the Hotel Management., I need this help from you urgently to help me back home, I need you to help me with the hotel bill and i will also need $1300 to feed and help myself back home so please can you help me with a sum of $2500 to sort out my problems here? I need this help so much and on time because i am in a terrible and tight situation here, I don't even have money to feed myself for a day which means i had been starving so please understand how urgent i needed your help. I am sending you this e-mail from the city Library and I only have 30 min, I will appreciate what so ever you can afford to send me for now and I promise to pay back your money as soon as i return home so please let me know on time so that i can forward you the details you need to transfer the money through Money Gram or Western Union.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi all, Someone in Africa has hacked into my email account and is pretending to be me to get people to wire money. It's a scam! Ignore the email. I've emailed and am trying to get access to my email account again. God knows when that will be, and until then it's causing me untold problems. Sorry for this.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Let alone the content of the e-mail, just check out the syntax, it's very poor, and 9 out of 10, this is a scam. I vote this is NOT Attilio. fbernall <fbernall wrote: All, I got this email this morning purportedly from Attilio. with this email: attiliodalberto @ .co.uk How are you doing today?
