Here’s something different. Usually the scammers are offering loans, not asking for one.

Hi,
I know we dont know each other but please i am a from USA My name is Edward Bielskis.
I need your help, can you do me a big favor and i really hope you get this… I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. i had to be in Sumter, United Kingdom, London for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. i misplaced my wallet and cell phone on my way back to the hotel i lodge in,After we went for sight seeing. The wallet contains all the valuables i have with me . Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when i make payment. I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan from you.
