Indians For Guns

Dear Friends....
Just received a call from one of our members my dear friend monty3006, that he has received 14 - 15 msgs from one of our member "Saptarishi" stating that he is in England and has lost alll money, documents etc.... monty tried to get in touch with him but could not and as of right now monty does not has net access so he gave me a call asking me to put up this post. If anybody is in touch with saptarishi pls enquire and let us know....what is the truth or should monty take this as one of the many Nigerian frauds.....on the net...
regards
Happy

What is the number from which the SMS are coming ? If its from a valid service provider its likely its not fraud.

I did some checks...it appears to be fraud...

M.

the msgs are on FB thats what monty said....

Its a scam. Someone has hacked Saptrishi's email and is probably emailing everyone in his address book.
Don't respond to it. Make sure you talk to Satparishi personally before you do anything.

Here is the SPAM mail

"I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to England for a short vacation and we were mugged at gun point last night at the park of the hotel where we lodged,all cash and credit card were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us...

We've been to the 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 and our flight leaves in few hours from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the hotel bills,we are freaked out at the moment ... Well I really need your financially assistance...Please let me know if you can help us out?

you can wire the money to me through western union all you need is Name on my passport and location below.

Receivers Name:Saptarshi Datta
Location: 5 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4HQ, United Kingdom
Amount:$1,850

As soon as the transfer is done i will appreciate you get back to me with the money transfer control number MTCN so i can use that in picking up the money with my passport ID. I'll def refund your cash as soon as i get home.

pls Email me with this :[email protected] "

Well the email ID is wrong and a fake one they created And Here is Monty's reply to it

"oh hell... Ok my dear. I do it asap. Pls tell me how to do it. Money no object 4 u, my friend. I have XXXX euros wit me. Do u need all?"

Monty , If you ever visit Kolkata , Please drop me a line. I want to personally meet you with couple of cold ones, I really want to see a person with such a big heart who can offer money to his net friend without even knowing him personally.

Next time if you receive any email from me , please verify with me before you do anything

3 cheers for monty.

man i envy anyoneone who stays in albemarle street in mayfair.

too bad the spammer didnt put pounds as a currency.
