Hi Charles, all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>this is a type of scam that has been around for some time and grown recently. Someone tells you he/she is in trouble in travel with a story that's moderately credible and very scary (so it activates your response and suspends critical thinking.) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is awful that the wrongdoers have picked up Charles Gaye's name and the association with ISOC. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have already had email from him on January 30 this year warning of supplantations. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I fail to see in this new case is how the scam works if it comes from his legit email address. Are the phone numbers supplanted? Or is there a total hijack of his communications? Can someone who communicates with him or others in Liberia help clear
the mess?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yours,</div>
<div><br>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="arial"> I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. I had to be in Madrid Spain for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. I misplaced my wallet on my
way back to my hotel after I went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables I had. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when I make payment.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="arial"> I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of $2,000 from you. this will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home.
I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much.</font></div>
