anyone else get this?

[EdHouston]

How are you doing? Honesty, I'm doing awful. I'm on a trip with family visiting London,UK but unfortunately we've been having a rough experience. We got robbed last night by a gang of thugs on our way back to the hotel and all our cash and credit cards were stolen but looking on the bright side no one was seriously injured. I have filed a police report to get our case archived with the consulate but they haven't been of much assistance and asked we contact friends back home for financial help. We are having some problems here clearing bills with the hotel because our card on file with the hotel declined charged after cards got stolen, it appeared they have tried to run charges on our card and the transaction raised flags and was blocked. I'm wondering if you could please loan me some money to clear our bills so that we can be on a flight back home today. I promise to refund you as soon as I arrive home.
Thank you,

Yes and I assume it is bogus.

Yep, I got it too. Considering he posted yesterday on his blog that they were in Mexico, I think it is somebody playing games. I sent it to Rich and to Garner.

I got it too, sent to my personal email.  As a hoax it is disturbing - and disgusting.

Well not really but I assumed it was bogus and decided to check the site and behold... you can find anything on this web site.
