Hope you get this on time, Sorry I didn't inform you about my trip to Spain for a program, and am having some difficulties here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money, credit card and cell were kept. Presently my passport and my things are been held down by the hotel management pending when i make payment.

I need you to help me with a loan of 2,850 Euros to pay my hotel bills and to get myself back home. I've been to the embassy and Police, but they are not responding to the matter effectively, I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, I will return the money back to you as soon as i return, let me know if you can be of any help? ASAP. I don't have a phone where i can be reached. I am so confused right now. please let me know immediately.

thank you.

regards,

aliajis

    Yeah, well if your friend was truly stuck, the police won't pay his hotel bill.

    One call to his credit card company could arrange payment until a replacement card is issued. Problem solved. His credit card company will gladly accept international collect calls.

    No. For years and years millions of people in history all *knew* the Earth was flat. It was obvious. Just look at it. It's flat I'd say they were pretty deluded. For years and years millions of people said slavery was moral. That's just the way it is. Also pretty deluded. We humans have a remarkable capacity for deluding ourselves. The things that today are thought by certain people as "just the way it is, so it's ridiculous to think otherwise" will be in the same boat as the flat Earthers and the pro-slavers, a couple of centuries from now.

    Only if he is your child and you know he is in Spain.

    Otherwise, crook. Period. No PHONE? What about the Embassy? How will he get these funds with no ID?

    No brainer

    Tell him he has to deposit a "processing fee" into your account in Nigeria before you can release the money.

    If you are dumb enough to fall for this it's probably a good thing that you have less money.
