An update to the email scam some of you received regarding me being stranded in the Ukraine after being robbed at gun point and needing money to get home!! A very distant cousin of mine ,who Ive not seen for 30 plus years, was so panicked and upset by this, .he replied to the email, asked some pertinent questions only I would know the answers to, regarding him and our relatives The scammers were able to check three emails sent years ago and elicit relevant information. My cousin was reassured it was genuine and sent £1000 which was collected from a bank in Kiev a day later. According to the Met. fraud squad, he has no chance of ever recovering this. I am so grateful to have a family who, although estranged, would do this for me. It blew me away!! I spoke to him on the phone and when I asked him if he thought my being in the Ukraine might be odd he said although he hasnt seen me since I was in my twenties, he thought it was the sort of random place I might go and also the sort of trouble I was likely to get into!! He knows me so well!! My hero!!
