[HMHS News] Email scam on a Mike Alberici Account

[Steven Chamberlin]

Hello Everyone:

I hope this email finds you well.

A scam is being perpetrated on an email address that Mike Alberici  
used for setting up the Delfeayo Marsalis visit. Many people who  
reserved tickets using the marsalistickets at gmail.com email address  
have received the following message:

I'm writing this message to you with sadness. I traveled to London for  
a short vacation and unfortunately for me,  I was mugged at a knife  
point last night at the park of the hotel where i lodged and all cash,  
credit cards and cell phone were all taken away.

I have reported the robbery to the police but they are yet to find the  
muggers. My flight leaves in less than 12hrs from now and i am having  
problems paying my hotel bills.

The hotel manager won't let me leave until i settle the bills. Please,  
I need a loan of £1550 from you to return back home and i want you to  
get back to me if you can help.

Mike

Please  be assured that this is a scam. We are sorry for any  
inconvenience this may have caused.
