L'account GMail dei miei amici è stato recentemente violato e l'autore ha inviato una di quelle classiche e-mail in stile "aiuto mi hanno rubato, ho bisogno di soldi". ( Modifica: so che è legittimo, il mio amico mi ha chiamato per dirmi che è stata violata.)
Ho pensato che sarebbe stato un esperimento divertente. Questo è forse più adatto per un forum, ma ho più fiducia in questa community.
Il testo è sotto. Apprezzerei i suggerimenti sul modo migliore per catturare questa persona o convincerli a fornire ulteriori informazioni per consentirmi di rintracciarli.
Aggiornamento : l'indirizzo indicato sembra essere l'Hilton dell'aeroporto di Madrid. Qualcuno sa chi posso contattare?
Modifica : per chiarire: il recupero dell'account è in corso, ma se ha intenzione di mantenere il suo account, ho pensato che potrei provare a prenderlo.
Il primo messaggio di Perp:
Hello, How are you faring? I hope my email finds you in good condition. I'm really sorry for this emergency and for not informing you about my urgent trip to Maldrid Spain but I just have to let you you my present predicament. Though everything was fine until I was attacked on my way to the hotel. I wasn't hurt but I lost my money, bank cards, mobile phone and my bag in the course of this attack. I have immediately contacted my bank in other to block my cards and also made a report at the nearest police station.
Meanwhile, I have also thought it expedient for me to confide this in you and I will be glad to have it confidential between us. I'm physically ok and fine but I'm urgently in need of some money to complete my major aim of being here and to balance my bills till my departure next weekend. Can you please lend me a sum of 2500 euros or any amount you can afford to lend out? I will refund you even with interest upon my arrival back home.
Kindly let me know if you would be able to help me out with the money or any amount you can afford, I can then forward you the details require for a wire transfer via the western union money transfer service. I don't yet have a local phone (still gathering my bearings and such), so email is probably the best form of contact for now.
I will expect your response soon.

Hi [Friend's Name],
I'm so sorry that you've run into financial trouble! I hope the police help you find your attacker. The world can be scary when traveling abroad.
I think I might be able to lend you the 2500 Euro worth, as long as it's temporary. No need for interest.
What should I do as a next step?
Hope you're able to get a phone set up soon. Either way, good luck and please let me know how I can help! -- [My Name]

I was able to find out how you can transfer money to me Via Western union Money Transfer because I put a temporary stop on my Accounts, all I need is my passport to receive the money here in Spain. There is a western union here in the airport.
You will need the details below at western union to make the money transfer :
Name : [Friends Name] Address: Avenida de la Hispanidad, s/n, 28042 Madrid, Spain
As soon as you're able to complete the transfer, Please email me with the necessary details to receive the money and also let me know how you want the money refunded to you so I can make the arrangements to get it to you as soon as I get back home. Please Write back Soon.
Thanks
