I really hope you get this fast. I could not
inform anyone about our trip, because it was impromptu. we
had to be in Manilla, Philippines for a program. The program
was successful, but our journey has turned sour. we
misplaced our wallet and cell phone on our way back to the
hotel we lodge in after we went for sight seeing. The wallet
contained all the valuables we had. Now, our passport is in
custody of the hotel management pending when we make
payment.


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 $2,550USD from you. this
will enable me sort our 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..

OH MY GOD, Alonso, this news is just too awful!!!

You did not mention what hotel you are staying in, but please contact Deputy Superintendent Eric Medoza of the Manila Police Department.

Please ask Eric to look into your matter as a personal favor of myself. Eric will remember me well as Captain Koons.

I was friends with Eric's father when I was in Vietnam, and when Eric's father died, it was my honorable task to give to him the gold watch that his father had carried during the Vietnam war.

That watch was on his daddy’s wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew if the [enemy soldiers] ever saw the watch it’d be confiscated, taken away. The way he looked at it, that watch was Eric's birthright. He’d be damned if any [enemy soldiers] were gonna put their [enemy soldier] hands on his boy’s birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His [anal cavity]. Five long years, he wore this watch up his [anal cavity]. When he was dying of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid that uncomfortable hunk of metal up my [anal cavity] two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And then I was finally able to give that gold watch to his son, Eric.

You just don't forget a thing like that.

Please let me know if you have any problems that the Manila Police cannot resolve for you. Eric is a very capable man, with a very nice watch.

Best Regards;

Captain Koons (retired)

I would love to see the dumbfounded look on the scammer's face when the reply was received. I hope that they watched PF to understand.

I had some scammer call my cell phone and they had a great deal to refinance my student loans. I played along for a while but he was not much fun. I asked him if he knew the balance of my school loans and he figured it was many thousands of dollars. That was puzzling to me since I have yet to ever apply for a school loan. He hung up on me.
