BEWARE : BOGUS EMAIL RECEIVED IN A YAHOO ACCOUNT

Hello readers, 



I just started my new blog bogus-email because I received an email from a friend whose name is really common in Latin or Spanish countries and their colonies. My country has been colonized by Spain centuries back and most of our names are Spanish sounding and it is not uncommon to encounter different individuals with the same names. A name falling in this category is an easy prey to receive bogus emails like what happened to one lady.

Let readers be warned of bogus email being sent randomly. The recipient has forwarded the bogus email (shown below) to her friends to forewarn them. This will help people from being victimized. Here is a copy of the email.

The recipient is a good friend, never leaves the country in her entire life. Readers must be discerning not to respond without checking. Do yourself a favor, do not send money without verifying.

Please practice caution and your sound discretion when you receive this type of email especially so if it is doubtful.

Allegedly, the ones practicing this condemning act are mostly hackers. Do not fall prey to these predators. Please read on the letter below.

Title : Urgent Mail Please get to me back ASAP!

Hi,

I really hope you get this fast. I made an impromptu trip to UK for a program. The program was successful, but my journey turned sour. I misplaced my wallet on my way back to my hotel after I went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all my valuables. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending the time I settle my bills.

I am sorry if I'm inconveniencing you in anyway, but I'm out of options at the moment. I will be indeed very grateful if I can get a loan of $1,250 from you. This will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home.

I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return.

You can get it across to me via Western Union to my name and this address

Name: *Lester Angels
Address / location: 24 Byron Mews, London
ZIP / Postal Code NW3 2NQ
Country: United Kingdom

Let me know if you can be of any assistance.

Thanks so much.

*Lester

End of the letter. 
Although this is a cheap shot, still numerous innocent victims fall prey to this kind of trick.

Please email mgoyenec@yahoo.com if you have verified a bogus email so we can be of help others by re-posting it to forewarned the publics or publish them right away at the comment section. 

Even for one day, in our own little way, let us do an act of goodness to fight evil. When we do good to people we feel good about ourselves. It gives you a kind of feeling of righteousness. You got this feeling of self-worth. This makes life more meaningful.

Thank you.
