Hello
.....I am writing you in a tensed mood, I had travelled to Wales to visit a new researchers complex in Swansea (Imperial College, Gallery Section, Wales) and unfortunately for me the hotel i lodged got razed by fire. I am so confused right now, I don't know what to do or where to go. I didnt bring my phones here and the hotel telephone lines were disconnected during the incident. So I have access to only emails.

Please can you lend me £960 ($1,557.54 USD)for me to relocate to another hotel and also get another flight ticket. As soon as I get home I would refund it immediately.Please I need you to get back to me as soon as possible.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and Regards

HURRY SEND THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yellowhouse]

Send now! I'm sure he also has inherited a huge amount of money that he is trying to smuggle out of Nigeria and will gladly share with you .


I've been getting a bunch of this crap the last few days. Bet I've blocked a dozen domains.

Problem is I know George Laymen and this could be real.

[rudybolla]

Thing is, that is George's actual email. And the name Kilcha Layman? That shows up in his emails as well

[remington600]

Just spoke to George. He said someone else is sending that message out with his email adress.

No that's just c...p, I've gotten these for at least 4 or 5 people I know, just another scam...

[tjack]

I got it too. As soon as I'm finished doing my evening surfing I'm running my virus protections.
