Here's a slight variation from the usual email scam I get.

I received these two this morning.

The first one even claims to be a Biomedical Engineer and registered on this site three months ago today.

Hello,

I know this will come to you as a shock,try not to panic or update anyone about my predicament. I came down to London England for a short Medical Conference Trip,unfortunately i was mugged at the park outside the hotel i lodge last night,The robbers went away with my wallet and all valuable i.d and credit cards including my cell phone's were stolen off me but luckily for me i still have my passports in my traveling bag in the hotel room.

I've been to the embassy and also reported to the Police and my flight leaves in less than few hours from now,but the problem i am having is settling the hotel bills,without this the manager won't let me leave until i settle the bills,I'm freaked out at the moment.

Right now just making use of a local library close to the hotel, i cant move around because my passport is with the hotel manager because i need to sort out my hotel bills. I really need your help to be out of London today,if not an extra cost will be charge for my stay at the hotel. I promise to repay what ever you send to assist me for my departure back home.
Please respond asap!
Kind regards,

Hope you get this on time,

Am sorry I didn't inform you about my trip to Spain for a program,I'm presently in Spain and am having some difficulties here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money and other valuable things were kept.I want you to assist me with a loan of 2,950 Euro = 4,100 Dollars to sort-out my hotel bills and to get myself back home.


I have spoken to the embassy here but they are not responding to the matter effectively,I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with,I'll refund the money back to you as soon as i return,let me know if you can be of any help.I don't have a phone where i can be reached.


Please let me know immediately if you can be of help to my situation.
