Hello,
Hope you get this on time, Sorry I didn't inform you about my trip I made to London, United Kingdom for a program, and am having some financial difficulties here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where I kept my money and credit card and my cell phone amazingly. Presently my passport and other valuables are been held down by the hotel management pending when i make payment.
I need you to help me with a loan of 1,500 GBP to pay my hotel bills and to get myself back home. I've been to the embassy and Police, but they are not responding to the matter effectively, I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, I will return the money back to you as soon as i return, let me know if you can be of any help? ASAP. I don't have a phone where i can be reached. I am so confused right now. You can send the Money to me Via Western Union of Money Gram with the below information.
Name: Akiva Gutnicki
Address: 7 Trebovir Rd, London, SW5 9LS United Kingdom.
please let me know immediately if you have send the money and the payment details including the Amount.

Regards,
Akiva Gutnicki

Yup, this is a scam. I got pretty much the same letter about a year ago supposedly from a buddy of mine. A few days later he emailed to say it was bullshit. Someone mined his address book online.

Whether real or fake, the sad part of this story is that Kid Vegas is still alive.
