Answer 1

Call the police

Answer 2

Very common scam.

I HOPE you didn't send this person a dime.

Answer 3

First rule of the Internet. Don't open e~mail from people you don't know. I wouldn't send money to a Internet sad story if they said their house blew up and left them homeless. There is no such thing as being scammed but there is a thing called stupid.

Answer 4

This is a scam, don't give them a penny.

Ask yourself this question: if you were injured and needed help, you would not turn to the internet and strangers for help.

If an American is in trouble abroad, they can get help from the US Embassy or the Consulate.

Forward their email to the ISP and report them.
