Default Strange email from a member who doesn't come on anymore?
I think his username is beany? i have just been sent this email from him it's really random.

Hope you get this on time,sorry I didn't inform you about my trip in Africa for a Program, I'm presently in Nigeria and am having some difficulties here because i don't have much time on the PC here,so i have to brief you my present situation which requires your urgent response actually, I had a trip to Lagos but unfortunately for me all my money got stolen. presently i have limited access to internet,I will like you to assist me with a loan of 1,550 Pounds to sort-out my hotel bills and to get myself back home.I have spoken to the embassy here but they are not responding to the matter effectively,I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with,I'll Refund the money back to you as soon as i return,let me know if you can be of any help.I don't have a phone where i can be reached.Please let me know immediately.


Regards,
Adam.

Anyway, yeah, it sounds like a scam that has been forwarded automatically to me.

It is easy to put in a fake return address on e-mails.
