I pretty sure it is from a fraudster - I've had a couple of these, including one to me from Arfi's address - in both cases purporting to come from folk who I knew to be genuinely travelling.

Dear All STAT,
Please be aware of this kind of scam and it will do more good than harm if administrator can find a way of phishing this kind of mails. I am not sure that it is not from a fraudster.
