Re: Anyone help Dave Bishop?
 

Be careful a lot of scams here in PA , e-mails getting hacked and asking to wire money.
I'd get a phone# and call him direct

Tell him to contact the American embassy.

Does the e-mail have misspellings. Try contacting him directly. It sounds like e-mail virus. Happened to me, people were calling me up to see if I was OK after supposedly being robbed, even people I haven't spoken to in years called me. Sounds like a scam.

Hi,

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,i came down here to Madrid Spain. for a short vacation to visit a resort and got mugged at gun point last night at the park of the hotel where i lodged.All cash,credit cards and cell were stolen off me.I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all,my flight leaves today and I'm having problems settling the hotel bills.

The hotel manager won't let me leave until i settle the hotel bills which is 1,720 Euro or anything you can afford now am freaked out.Please reply back and let me know if you will be able to loan me the cash so that i can give you the necessary details you will need to get the cash to me via western union money transfer, i promise to pay you back as soon as i get home.

Dave

I don't know the gentleman, however I have traveled abroad quite a bit and if this were to happen to me I would certainly NOT send out an E-mail asking for help. I would contact someone directly, you can go to any police station or the American embassy and make a free phone call to anywhere. After having a identity theft issue once I'm very leary of things like this. Joe

I do know Dave Bishop and reading this e-mail I really don't that this e-mail is from him. Dave is a professional writer who has traveled all over the USA. Dave Bishop, the racing writer, has enough corporate contacts not to need to be contacting someone like this. If you read the e-mail and how things are worded you would also question it. Be careful.

I got a similar message via facebook.A friend contacted me and said basically the same thing.Be careful.
