? Physhing Expedition email Marco T

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Has anyone else recieved an email supposedly from Marco T asking for assistance?

It read like a physing expedition or straight scam to me. I doubt that it was from Marco, I just think that the Yahoo SI site has been hacked.

Lost his wallet & needs help with a bill ?

If so, I've heard of similar ones in the car club community.

Overseas, wallet stolen, hotel bill needs paying and plane leaves in 6 hours!

Marco T, exists and has a couple of early 80 landies in Australia.

Yes, exactly the same as what went around the Morris Minor scene a couple of months ago:

We had one similar about eighteen months ago, supposedly from an acquaintance stuck in Scotland (she was there at the time) almost exactly the same as your email.

I said scam straight away, ( the language/syntax wasn't what she would use)
It had been forwarded by a mutual friend who when I said scam agreed, and it was.

I rang Marco when I received it - it is a fraud by someone who hacked his email account,

I spoke to Marco also after recieving it - definitely a scam. He's certainly not in London at the moment! His email provider is trying to sort it out for him.
