Hello all,
I am Ramesh Talwar (Mrs.), writing to say that I am in London and fine.
The email in question - ' STRANDED', was a scam and has been a cause
for concern to me and many of my friends and colleagues as some did
believe its worrying content. It is worth pointing out that even
though the hackers sent out the email from my address, the return
address [log in to unmask], is different and is intentionally or
unintentionally mis-spelt.
I have tried to reply to all those who contacted me by email
individually, but could not do a mass email to all as my contact list
on the computer has been completely wiped out!
It has been an absolute nightmare but rather that than actually
suffering the fate in Valencia!!
Thanks for your concern and I am sorry for the inconvenience to all!
Hope this clarifies the situation and is the end of it! I shall be
grateful if this message could be forwarded to others if needed.
With best wishes,
Ramesh
