Regarding this scam.
Wouldn't it be prudent to contact the police in the country, in this
case England, and give them the telephone number, and the information,
and hope that they are sharp enough to put away whoever it is running
the scam?

Did it say something like this:
Hello,
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,we came down here to
London,England for a short vacation and i was mugged at gun point last
night,at the park of the hotel where we lodged all cash,credit cards
and phone were stolen off me,thank God we have our life and passport
save.
I've been to the US embassy and the Police here but they're not
helping issues at all,they asked us to wait for 3weeks but we can't
wait till then.
our flight leaves in less than 3hrs from now and we are having
problems settling the hotel bills.
The hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the hotel bills.
you can speak with him through this number +44 702 404 6640,we are
freaked out at the moment
you can wire the money to me through western union all you need is the
Name on my passport and location.
I'll def refund your cash as soon as i get home.
Be careful:

I ALWAYS google search some of the content of the e-mail. It usually
provides great feedback. ;-)

Has anyone else gotten a message from Nolan Porterfield saying he
was having problems while on Vacation in London?
Not sure if what I got rings entirely true. Something about his
message sounds fishy.
Please email me directly if you have gotten a message directly to
you from him sometime today.
Thanks!
