An email scam is being reported by some Toronto residents. In-boxes this morning contained urgent appeals from people whose names are known to the recipient. But, of course, they aren’t from the real person. Watch out and do not rely. Here is how the text reads on many of the messages:
How are you doing? I and my family came over to England(UK) for a short vacation. unfortunately,we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash, cell phones and credit card were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us. We’ve been to the Embassy and the Police here but they’re not helping issues at all and our flight leaves tomorrow but we’re having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won’t let us leave until we settle the bills. Please I really need your financial assistance..Please, Let me know if you can help us out? i will be waiting to hear from you.
