Just had one of those spoof emails from Sarah’s address on behalf of some poor person who is stranded in Manila.....The first mail asked if I had received Sarah’s email which was titled ‘Favour needed’. Recognising the name I asked if it was Sarah the poppy lady, then got this is reply...Hi Sarah, Thanks for your kind response, I really appreciate your concern,I'm sorry to worry you at this time due to the situation of things right now..I'm currently stranded here in Manila, Philippines due to the fact that i had my bag stolen from me with my passport, mobile phone and personal effects therein.It 's such a terrible experience for me but i'm glad the embassy had just issued me a temporary passport but i need to get a ticket and settle my hotel bills with the Manager before leaving.I have made contact with my bank but it would take me 3-5 working days to access funds in my accountI am trying all i can to get myself out of this terrible situation because i am having problems settling the hotel bills.Please let me know if i can count on you i promise to refund the money back as soon as i get back home.Kind RegardsSandra xThis is really mean as Sarah Porter might quite legitimately ask for support in the Poppy appeal so odds are the mail would be opened.Crumbs!
