Since people do still fall for email/phone scams I received the following email (not sent to my personal address so obviously spam/scam) this morning:

I'm writing with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to ( Madrid ) Spain, for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel we stayed,all cash credit cards and cell were stolen off but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.
I have been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves pretty soon from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.Please be so kind to reply back so I can tell you what to do and how to get some cash to us.

I'm freaked out at the moment

The name Peter Blackwood rings a bell with me, not sure why. I have forwarded it to Thurso Police.
