(This is what was sent out and its BS)
I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about our trip, because it was impromptu. we had to be in Philippines for Tour.. The program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. we misplaced our wallet and cell phone on our way back to the hotel we lodge in after we went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables we had. Now, our passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when we make payment.
I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a short term loan from you($2,350)USD. this will enable me sort our hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much.

How come I couldn't get the email that said chubbygirl, mine said mercy_ragadi. Thought you were airboating in the philippines there for a little while. LOL
 
i haven't been out of the country in 20 years
can't stand scammers this was the first time my email been hacked heard stories of it happening but this is the first time i been hacked and hope it don't happen again the ph hasn't stopped ringing
 
I use the Internet more than I should and I can assure you that a day doesn't go by that some wealthy prince or princess hasn't left me millions of dollars. My eBay account has been compromised and they just want me to type in my username and password so they can fix the problem. yea right they want to steal my password. The same goes for pay pal. My online store had over 10 grand in stolen cards used the past two months and reporting it is a joke. If your going to travel in the Internet world you just have to buckle up and get ready for the ride. Be savoy and understand what is going on out there.
 
That's a bummer. Mine was hacked into a few months back. They got my password & was using my account to send out spam. I never did figure out how they got it. I finally figured out to change the password and it stopped.

If you do email lists, you might wanna make sure they're secure too.

Also, you can do a Google search for "I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about our trip" and see that it's a fairly common type of scam these days.

Careful with them Phillipino girls, most are rebuilt boys ;-) They'd have a hard time getting my Ebay password, I forget it and have to change it about every 6 months.
 
Back in Navy days when we pulled in to the Philippines An old chief was warning us to only chase the average or ugly girls. Naturally some kid piped up and wanted to know why. The Chief winked at him and said because the pretty ones are guys. What a laugh we had about that. Must have been maybe '69 or '70. Now days theres no way to tell anymore, I just stay the hell out of bars. Too risky.
