Phishing expedition - URGENT

[blueprinciple]

To the mod - please move this where it will be noticed!

I recently had a message purporting to be from an SRP member and also a customer of mine. The gist is that he and his wife have been stuck in Scotland due to being robbed at gunpoint and is asking for money to get home to JFK (he doesn't live there!). He's asking for money to be sent via Western Union to get him out of trouble (£1500).

I asked him a couple of questions re SRP and one or two things only he and I would know- guess what? Stalling, doesn;t know the answer.

It's pretty obvious this is a scam so if ANY member receives a like email BEWARE. I won't give the member's name this fraudster is using as this would compromise the member's security but I'm convinced this is bogus.

Just remember - Scotland - robbed-needs money (asked for £1500).

I have pm'd the member concerned and am awaiting his reply.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
