Email Scam

I got this email from my mom a few days ago...

Hope you get this on time, sorry I didn't inform you about my trip in Spain for a program, I'm presently in Madrid, Spain and am having some difficulties here because i misplaced my bag on my way to the hotel where my money and other valuable things were kept. Presently i have limited access to internet, I will like you to assist me with a loan just to sort-out my hotel bills and to get myself back home because i called my bank for a wire transfer but it has proven almost Impossible to operate my account from here as they made me understand that international transactions take 14 working days to be effective which i can't wait.

I feel so devastated,now my passport and other belongings are being retained by the hotel management pending the time I pay my Hotel bills.This is shameful,I need you to help me with a loan of (2150euro) to pay my hotel bills and get my self home.I will reimburse you as soon as I get back Home.I will appreciate whatever you can assist me with.

Let me know if you can be of any help.

It's obviously a scam. But friends and relatives abroad who didn't know her whereabouts here in the Philippines called up to check on her. It was nice that they were so willing to lend a hand. But it was good none fell for it. My mom would have felt bad if one of her friends were duped.

So guys, beware of this modus operandi. Change your passwords regularly.

I don't know what morals he has for thinking what he is doing is right. He says he helped a lot of people. Yes, he helped them think that making a quick buck by joining these kinds of shows, even when already making a fool of themselves, is the best way to earn money. 

Let us all compromise our beliefs and morals just to be on tv and Willie will just hand over money. 

After all the several scandals and two networks, should have known better. But maybe it's not enough. 

The words he said to those people who just voiced out their opinion. He gets angry at people for dissing him when disses everybody else in his show.

We should learn from him. Money is not the answer for everything.

I'm proud and admire the people who made this happen. For those who helped in influencing the government agencies to take action. And also for the sponsors who want to make changes for the better.
