(Note the difference in from and reply email addresses.)

I’m not entirely sure why scammers like me and feel the need to keep sending me emails designed to extract money from me.

I’m caught up in a real mess and i need your help. I’m sorry I didn’t inform you about our trip, We had a trip to the United Kingdom (Cardiff) and a bizarre thing happened to us. We where mugged at gun point last night, it happened at the park of the Hotel were we lodged but thank God we are not hurt, the muggers carted away with all our belongings excluded our passport. Cell,c-card,cash and some important documents are all gone. I was able to make contact with the UK Police and i was directed to the Embassy, but they seems to be taking things too slow.

I need your help so urgently. Our flight leaves pretty soon but we are having problems sorting out the hotel bills and also need getting our ticket straightened out. I need your help. I need a quick loan to get things fixed out here, I promise to refund as soon as we get back home. Please reply asap. so i can tell you what to do and how to get the money to me.
