I’m writing this with tears in my eyes,i came down here to,England for a short vacation and i was mugged at gun point last night,at the park of the hotel  where i lodged all cash,credit cards and cell were stolen off me, thank God i have my life and passport.

I’ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they’re not helping issues at all,they asked me to wait for 3weeks but i can’t wait till then. my flight  leaves in less than few hours from now and am are having problems settling the hotel bills.

The hotel manager won’t let me leave until i settle the hotel bills,am freaked out at the moment you can speak to the hotel manager+447024094501 you can wire the money to me through western union all you need is Name on my passport and location below.

Name:xxxxx xxxxx
Location:xxx ,xxx Street, London SE1 2BY, England.
Amount:$2,450
I’ll def refund your cash as soon as i get home.

It seems that this is from one of my ex-customers at freenameastar. She must have had me in her email address book and some malicious software is sending these out. I have notified the person that there is a problem. The address in the email is almost certainly the person’s real address.

The phone prefix #447 is Uzbekistan.

The moral is: NEVER NEVER EVER send money through Western Union. It is only used by scammers.
