Calling Dave Marshall

Hi Dave,

Have your emails been compromised?

I have had a strange email from you this morning!

Sorry Richard, this is the only way I can contact him without using email,

Cheers PB

Sounds as if his account may have been hacked. Was it a request for money?

My account got hacked and people got emails saying I had been mugged in Turkey , please send cash asap.

Hi Mr. Bear,

Yes, it looks as if one of my Outlook mail accounts has been hacked, so I’ve just changed the login details for both my accounts.

Fingers crossed it solves the problem, and many thanks for the early shout. :+1:

I’ve been trying to purchase £250 Airbnb email gift card by email delivery from Amazon for a friend who is battling with ( Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ) a type of Blood Cancer and has been undergoing treatment lately. I intend to buy it for her birthday today & I promised to get her a gift, but all my effort proves abortive in purchasing it online, wondering if you can help place the order from Airbnb email delivery from Amazon, I’m looking forward to spend £250. I’ll reimburse you as soon as possible.

Please let me know if you can handle this so I can send her email address.

I thought it was well out of character!

People do fall for it, and find their generosity , kindness and concern repaid with a scam

If my mother had been alive I dread to think how many of these con phone calls she would have fell for

Its low trying to con decent people out of money!

So sorry to hear of your mugging Ian.

Had no idea you were in Turkey, what with the doggy knees.

Send me your bank account details & I promise to do all I can to help you in your awful predicament…

I have only spent an afternoon in Turkey , where a carpet salesman said I had champagne tastes but a beer budget, failing to notice the genuine Rolex on my wrist

I was mugged in Slough however

Yes I’d have thought so… I mean two hundred and fifty quid?! Surely he’d send the full monkey?

I’m sure you can easily find your way home from Slough, so I’m withdrawing my kind offer of assistance.

PS - Sorry to disillusion you. The mugger probably thought your watch looked like a fake…

He didn’t think my Scottish Equitable laptop was a fake and it was last seen going in the discretion of Burnham Beeches from Slough

When it came time for the ID parade , I walked up the line twice and could not pick him out. Went another time and said I identify number 5, the policeman almost did a whoop of delight and quietly later complimented me on it. I told him that I could not have identified him in a month of Sundays.

But it was pretty daft to turn up to an ID parade wearing the same clothes as when he mugged me

I now live on the other side of Berkshire , and life is quiet

But I do thank you for your kind offer of assistance. I was given a lift home in a police car
