Hello,

This message is coming to you with great depression due to my state of discomfort. I came down here to UKRAINE for a short vacation but unfortunately, we were mugged and robbed at the park of the hotel where we stayed. All cash, credit cards and Mobile phones were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our lives and passports.

We've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in less than 12hrs from now but we are having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills about $2,850 . Can you help us out? Get back to me immediately to let you know the easiest way to get the fund to me....

Thanks
Dieter

I just called Dieter on the phone and he told me there's nothing wrong with him, the email is from a scammer using his identity to steal your money. He's aware of this situation.

IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TOO DO NOT REPLY AND CERTAINLY DO NOT SEND MONEY OUT TO HELP !!

I got mine earlier.

So you saying its not real then?

No - I've called Dieter on the phone and he was @ home in Germany.
If you will reply the email and you will offer your help , the scammer will ask for a Western Union payment.

I did the test and this is what I have received from another email : rainersbikeshop@yahoo.com

Thats a lot of mini bar and hookers in the Ukraine. How long were they there, a year?

FFS, I hate stupid crooks

I got one as well, if he's stuck in the Ukraine there's nobody in the shop

Jokes aside poor bastard, I hate going to the local Lidl never mind being stuck in an Eastern European country

We had the same email go round work last week for one of our business partners, he was asking for £2500 to get home after being mugged!!!

We don't really like him so didn't reply!

I got that message through this morning...

I knew it was a scam as I found the email too easy to read and understand

(No offence meant Dieter, glad you're safe and well)

Got mine at 10:36 this morning but Mac mail threw it straight in the spam folder. The email address is bogus and we all know Dieter lives in Germany!

Scams like these have been going around for a few years, unfortunate thing is that some people do get caught out by it.
