I received this in the email (a scam)

Hi,
How you doing? I made a trip to London (United Kingdom)
unannounced some days back, Unfortunately i got mugged at gun point
last night! All cash, Credit card and phone were stolen, i got messed
up in another country, stranded in London, fortunately passport was
back in our hotel room. It was a bitter experience and i was hurt on
my right hand, but would be fine. I am sending you this message cos i
don't want anyone to panic, i want you to keep it that way for now!

My return flight leaves in a few hours but I’m having troubles sorting
out the hotel bills, wondering if you could loan me some money to sort
out the hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport about ($1750).
I have been to the police and embassy here, but they aren't helping
issues, I have limited means of getting out of here, i have canceled
my credit cards already and made a police report, I won’t get a new
credit card number till I get back home! So I really need your help.

You can contact the hotel management through this telephone number
(+447024097949),you could wire whatever you can spare to my name and
hotel address via Western union:

Name: Matthew Ferrell
Location:21 Burnaby Street, Chelsea,
Greater London
SW10 0PL.
United Kingdom

Get back to me with the details, would def refund it to you once i get
back you can count on that! Hopefully tomorrow, below are the details
needed for me to pick up the money with my passport.

MTCN:
Amount Sent

I await your prompt response.

Maybe I will just send my private jet there for him, since I am such a charitable person (Now internationally).

P.S. The address does not come back as a hotel, I wonder if he is lost in London!
