    I received the following email today from a client's email address which included some genuine looking contact details with the mobile phone number just one digit out. Because I know the client well and the style of writing did not sound like him I was immediately suspicious and made contact with him to warn him of this.

    This is one of the cleverer email scams I have seen and would arouse immediate concern for a friend perhaps pulling people into the scammers trap. Please be very careful.

    The email text with all client identity aspects deleted is as follows:

    ----------------------

    Hello,
    I'm sorry for this odd request as it might get to you too urgent but due to the situation of things right now. I'm stranded in Madrid,Spain with my family right now, we came down here on vacation and was robbed. The worst part was that wallet, cash credit cards and my cell phone were stolen at GUN POINT, It's such a crazy experience for me, I need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is we still have our passport but don't have enough money to get my flight ticket back home and some bills settled, please we need you to loan me some money.

    I promise to refund it to you as soon as we are back home safely, I give you my word.Please get back to me so that i can give you my details to send the money to.

    Thank you
