Stuck in Spain

TOMS1SS · 09-13-2011, 11:19 PM

I keep getting these emails in my Yahoo Account:

I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's because of the situation of things right now.

I'm stuck in Madrid,Spain with my family, we are here on a short vacation and I was robbed, worse of it is that bags, cash, cards with my cell phone was stolen at GUN POINT, it was such a crazy experience for us and we need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is we still have our passports and return tickets but currently having troubles paying off the hotel bills and also getting a cab to take us to the airport.

All we need is 2,850.00 Euros but anything you can spare right now will be appreciated and I promise to refund it to you as soon as I arrive back home safely..You have my word and you can get it to me through western union.

Thanks
Kevin

Burn in Hell Kevin, nice run on sentence.

theives do not rob you at gunpoint in Spain. man that guy needs to do some research. A common approach is a 2 man job. One guy will distract you saying there is some sort of "emergency" while the other person comes up behind you and takes whats in your pockets or your luggage. Or there's the common, running up from behind and ripping your wife's purse off move. You know you're in a bad area when you see repeated pictures of a guy running with the word "theives" written under it painted on half the buildings as a warning.

Another good one is when a group of kids come up as if they're trying to sell you something, like a newspaper, they hold the item above a purse or pockets, while another kid reaches under and robs you blind... Same tactics apply to Italy.
