****SCAM HITS EDITOR OF THIS SERVICE.
(March 11, 2010) A page purportedly from Yahoo, Inc. asked for update of personal information. It looked real and it trapped this editor. Please ignore any email from bnn_fsm@yahoo.com asking for money to pay for hotel bills in Scotland. IT IS A SCAM IN CIRCULATION. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Update:
This is how the scammer made his plea, using somebody else's email address:
I Hope you get this on time,sorry I didn't inform you about my trip in Scotland
for a program, I'm presently in Edinburgh and am having some difficulties here
because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money and other
valuable things were kept.I want you to assist me with a loan of 2500$ to sort-out
my hotel bills and to get myself back home. I have spoken to the embassy here
but they are not responding to the matter effectively,I will appreciate whatever
you can afford to assist me with,I'll Refund the money back to you as soon as
i return, let me know if you can be of any help. I don't have a phone where
i can be reached. Please let me know immediately.
Thanks
And when asked where to send money, scammer gave this most likely fake contact address:
NAME; Name of email address owner
ADDRESS:19 North Bridge
STATE: Edinburgh
COUNTRY: Scotland United Kingdom
ZIP CODE: EH1 1SD
Let's hope Scotland Yard can catch him/her.
