Down & Out British Citizen in Vietnam or Obvious Scammer?

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

From The Hanoi Massive A New Era Group:

'(PLEASE HELP)

Hi guys. Me and my girlfriend found this old man on the streets, he was walking around with badly swollen leg asking Vietnameses people for help but they don't understand. He is from London, England.

His wife left him 6 days before he went to the airport. The taxi driver dropped him in the middle of the way to the airport. His wallet and phone were also stolen. He needs to find his friends of people who know him.

Contact my gf : 0982099569'

Most people in this situation are alcoholics, and come up with clever stories to get sympathy.

However, good people can sometimes have genuine hard times.

The only people who would know for sure are those who know him well.

Does he want to go back to the UK?
