Stranded Traveller Emails

You may get an email from a friend who has your email saved. Your friend will say that they are in a foreign country. They have lost their baggage or had it stolen. They will ask you to send them money to help them get home.

The email is a scam and a scammer has hacked your friends account. The scammer has sent this pretending to be your friend. They will likely ask to send the money to untraceable services. Western Union or Bid Cash for example.

We recommend, if possible, let your friend know. Hopefully they can get back their account. Or, perhaps let others know its not them.
