The administrators have received the following message at our email addresses. We assume that the sender harvested it from Talk of The Villages. They may be targeting Villages residents.
However they got it, the following is a scam and should not be taken seriously. It's an age old trick. A friend of mine got a phone call similar to this an almost sent the money.
Hope you get this on time,sorry I didn't inform you about my trip in UK for a Program, I'm presently in UK 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. presently i have limited access to internet,I will like you to assist me with a loan of £1500 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.
Regards.
Karen
