北美生活：謹防國際詐騙

最近幾天，我不斷收到來自國內外好友的電話，內容都是一樣，問我現在在哪裡？我說還在老地方—新澤西。可是他們都收到一封我發自西班牙馬德里的郵件，大意說說是我們全家那裡去旅遊，在旅館的停車場被人搶劫，錢包和信用卡被盜，幸好護照還在，我也曾求助於當地的警方和大使館，人家都幫不上忙。由於飛機很快就要起飛，可旅館還沒結帳，是否可以幫忙幾點錢過來以解燃眉之急。我的一個朋友還真很快給對方回了一封信，對方（也就是那個假「我」很快就回信了，說不多就1500歐元，用聯邦快遞就可以。朋友們紛紛求證，結果我一一解答，我的郵箱被黑客入侵盜走了我的帳號，我的所有郵件不管是sent, inbox,spam, contacts，全部清空，還好我及時更改了密碼，盜賊沒辦法再進來，結果在我的郵箱sent的發現的一封並不是我發的郵件，如下：

 Hello Good Morning

  I'm writing with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to (Madrid) Spain, for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel we stayed,all cash credit cards and cell were stolen off  but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.

 I have been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves pretty soon from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills. Please be so kind to reply back so I can tell you what to do and how to get some cash to us.

 I'm freaked out at the moment.

Raya.

發 信 人 title是 ：Sad News(Help Needed).......Raya Bidaye

發信人是：  "Raya Bidaye" rbidaye@yahoo.com

我不知道這個Raya Bidaye就是盜賊還是另外一個受害人。我把我的故事講給朋友聽，結果很多人有類似的經歷，幸好我的朋友們多了幾個心眼，首先第一時間求證，其次可回信問對方的家庭成員，姓什麼叫什麼。。。。這些騙子是無法回答的。

我還有個郵箱好久沒打開，結果最近一打開，好多這種信件，特摘錄幾封如下：

「Sad Trip...(Help Needed)

I am writing this with tears in my eyes, My family and I made a trip to Jakarta (Indonesia),unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us, Ben was traumatized at this incident, He's presently at the hospital receiving treatments.
 
I have been to the Embassy and the Police here but their response was too casual, the bad news is our flight will be leaving in less than 8-hrs 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, I will need your help (LOAN $1,900) financially, I promise to make the refund once we get back home. Please let me know if i can count on you and i need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way i can reach you.」

「Serious news!

Help! I'm sorry to be emailing you like this, but I am in need of some urgent assistance. As you have know, I've been traveling through Europe. But last night in Scotland, my worst fears came true. As we were headed back to the hotel, we were robbed but a crazy man with a GUN. He took our bags, wallets, and phones. We have no credit cards or cash. Thankfully, we had left our passports in the safe at the hotel. We need to get back home, but we have no way to get to our flight in Germany that leaves for home today

Right now our only option is to fly home from here. We need some money so we can purchase tickets to get to JFK, and then fly home from there. As soon as we get back home, I can repay you, I just need to get some cash to get there. If you can help, send me an email back, we have internet access from the lobby in the hotel. I'm sorry to bother you, I just didn't know how else to contact you quickly. Thanks! 「

幸好騙子的信是現在發的，如果是八月份我還真在歐洲，保不準會發生什麼事情。每每想起還真嚇出一身冷汗，這該千刀萬剮的騙子！在此也提醒大家天下騙子一樣黑，大家小心為妙！
