Chris needs my help

I had an email today from Chris Parr, and he appears to be in a terrible fix:

Hello,

Sorry for any inconvenience, I’m in a terrible mess right now. Am deserted  here in kiev ukraine since last night. I was hurt and robbed on my way back to the hotel i lodged.It was such a horrible experience for me,luckily i left my passports in the safe at the hotel. I have been to the Police and they directed me to the embassy but they’re not helping issues at all. I have to canceled all my cards, it appeared I acted quickly enough or they almost would have succeeded in clearing out my bank account.the bad news is my flight will be leaving very soon but i am having problems settling the hotel bills. Please let me know if you can help me out and I will refund the money back to you as soon as I get back home.

As you’ve probably guessed, I’ve never heard of Chris Parr – so won’t be sending him any money.

If you have any vulnerable relatives, with access to email, do ensure they don’t fall for scams like this.
