I am rethinking this email since I read it over again. The scam
email I received asked for money ($1,800) to be sent to England via
Western Union. I am not sure about this since this supposed Jerry is
asking for just a response email. I would still be very cautious!
The Idaho news said the lady received a "yahoo request" (same as
mine) asking for email address, password, country of origin, mothers
maiden name, ect. Once the perpetrator had the information, they
immediately extracted all her information and cleaned her bank
accounts out. This was a business computer account and it shut down
her business!

Subject: Re: Nigerian Scam ! [Histonet] FW: NEEDS URGENT HELP !!!
The email you received is a Nigerian Scam. Someone was able to
hack into Jerry's computer and get all his contact list! You
happened to be one of his contacts. The same sort of Scam happened
to me last October. Fortunately for me, I didn't have any bank
account information in my computer. I have a MAC and so I went to
the Apple Genius Bar and they checked my computer for any viruses.
Fortunately, it is very difficult to get into a MAC. This has been
on the news in Idaho and various other states. DO NOT RESPOND to
any emails that want any personal information!!! You need to clean-
up your computer from any viruses.

I am just curious, can someone check on Jerry to see if he is dead
or alive,
or if someone stole his phone/laptop to get this message to me. I
remember
the email address from Florida Society for Histotechnology, I am
wondering
if this is real or if someone is assuming his identity overseas,
foul play,
etc.

Subject: NEEDS URGENT HELP !!!
Help! I'm sorry to be emailing you like this, but I am in need of some
urgent assistance. As you have know, I've been traveling through
Europe.
But last night in Scotland, my worst fears came true. As we were
headed back
to the hotel, we were robbed but a crazy man with a knife. He took
our bags,
wallets, and phones. We have no credit cards or cash.Thankfully, we
had left
our passports in the safe at the hotel. We need to get back home,
but we
have no way to get to our flight in Germany that leaves for home
next week.
Right now our only option is to fly home from here. We need some
money so we
can purchase tickets to get to JFK, and then fly home from there.
As soon as
we get back home, I can repay you, I just need to get some cash to get
there. If you can help, send me an email back, we have internet
access from
the lobby in the hotel. I'm sorry to bother you, I just didn't know
how else
to contact everyone quickly Thanks!
