Joseph Chow


Has anyone else gotten an e-mail from "Joseph Chow", who is in "The Phillipines on vacation"?? Very strange.

This is a scam secondary to his computer/email being hacked.
Do not respond in any way or you will put your computer/email accounts at risk!
Variation on common scam- been arrested in (insert name foreign country here) and need $ sent via Western Union to pay bail/bribe police/hire attorney.
I got this email also.

The emailer said he was robbed at gunpoint in the Phillipines while there on vacation.

Suspected a Scam, and deleted it.

Also glad to find this thread here on AG.
I received the same email. Like Salevick, I assumed his email account had been hacked or his computer stolen.
Certainly sounds like some kind of scam, particularly in view ot the fact that message has been received by others. Appreciate the response to my reality check.
I have, I deleted it, got that same type of email from another person I know as well.
I got one the other day. I suspect that his laptop was stolen or his email account was broken into.
