Hi,
Apologies for having to reach out to you like this, but I made a
quick trip, to London,United Kingdom and had my bag
stolen from me with my passport and credit cards in it. The embassy
is willing to help by authorizing me to fly without my passport, I
just have to pay for a ticket and settle Hotel bills. Unfortunately,
I can't have access to funds without my credit card, I've made
contact with my bank but they need more time to come up with a new
one. I was thinking of asking you to lend me some quick funds that I
can give back as soon as I get in. I really need to be on the next
available flight.

I can forward you details on how you can get money to me. You can
reach me via alternate email karen...@ymail.com or hotel's desk phone, +447045765960
waiting for response.
Thank You
Karen Perri

Hello everyone,

This e-mail sounds quite suspicious. I have seen many e-mails similar to this. Can someone contact Karren to see if this is real and not some asshole that hacked her e-mail account in an attempt to scam people on this thread. Also, why would Karren change her account from gmail to ymail?

Thank you Alexander. I just saw this and I agree that it looks suspicious. I'll see what I can do about contacting Karen.

Hi All,

Thank you for your concern re my suspicious email.
Yes I was hacked and have lost everything in my gmail account plus of course the address book.
But it is not the end of the world and I can still cook Italian.

YES!!!

Hi Karen,

So good to hear from you; I was concerned. Sorry you lost your contacts. Too bad there are nasty people out there to cause this kind of trouble. They'll do anything for a buck - pathetic!

Again, thanks for writing, and keeping on cooking Italian.
