[FONT="]This scam is happening more and more and its working. You get emails from friends from your own email address book, purporting to be in trouble and needing cash. There is always a short window, such as bail, or a flight to catch. [/FONT][FONT="]My brother got this from a friend, except he was at the friends house at the time so he knew Andy was not in Spain. let's be careful out there and employ a good malware cleaner.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, My family and I came down here to Madrid, Spain on holiday. Unfortunately, we were robbed at the park of the hotel we lodged. All cash, credit card and mobile phones were taken away from us, we are lucky to have our lives, and passports inside the hotel room.
We went to the embassy and the police to report the incident but they are not helping out at all. Our return flight is scheduled to take off in few hours from now but we are having problem sorting the hotel bill. We tried to convince the hotel manager to understand our predicament that we will transfer the money to him as soon as we arrive home safely but he insist we sort the bills before checking out. we are frightened at the moment. Sincerely, Andy
