Send no money

Recently, some of our classmates have had fraudulent email sent from their email account.  The message states that after an attack and robbery in London the person is stranded and needs money to get back home. In these scams, there are usually instructions to wire money but not in this latest case.  This must be the work of an amateur idiot.  If you were robbed of everything and stranded in London, would you happen to have three of my email addresses and favor me with three messages or would you contact your family? Several people have received this email and have been concerned.

This scam has been around for years in one form or another. It attacks webmail users (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc.).

Please delete the message without replying to it.
