Yes, as indicated, we have been receiving this
sort of email lately, though in lower intensity.
However, I will remember the day till I die, when
my Laptop bag with most of my belongings, except
my money bag and passport was mugged in Barcelona
on December 26th 2009. I was editing my latest
book, that time during those holidays there. A
horrible day indeed! I lost over ten years of
work in my laptop, though a slight portion was
backed up before a year ago. Still I think I
could not be on the track, in terms of my
publications. The funny (I would now say) thing
is that the local police at the central bus
station from where the bag was mugged by a group
of three or four (around 06:00AM local time), was
reluctant to list it as a case and then refused.
I had to go to the central police station to file
the case. Due to the compilation, the case was
weak and despite two surveillance cameras that
might had clues or evidence were overlooked. This may happen...
Sorry for putting a few personal words here
(thought that I can share my feelings with my
fellow friends and colleagues), but you never
know what actually can happen to anybody
anywhere. I hope Asif or Naveed or someone in
this list from Pakistan could verify the
incidence. I will be happy to learn what is written is really a scam!
Best regards,
Hakikur
