There's a scam email running around from "Rogue Valley Roses" stating that they're stuck in England and need $$ to get back to the US. It's a definite scam and a very common one at they. Do not respond to the email!!! I promise it's a scam. It's too early to be calling them but I will call them to let them know that their email distribution list has been compromised. Here's the email I got:

Hello, How are you doing? Am writing you this mail in distress, l have been all handicap, I am sorry that I didn’t inform you about my traveling to England for a Seminar to expand my business idea prior to the upcoming season sales. I need a favor from you as soon as you receive this e-mail, I was proposed to be coming back home Tomorrow immediately after the seminar, but on my way back to my hotel, I was attacked and robbed, my mobile phone and all the cash I had was stolen. Luckily for me I still have my passport with me which I left in my hotel room before. But right now the hotel management has collected all to that am owning unless I have my bills cleared, I have been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all, at the moment I am stranded, I can't pay my bills, Could you please help me with £3000 (GB)British Pounds which is about 4,730.51 USD to enable me pay my bills and fly back home tomorrow as scheduled, As soon as I get back I would refund it immediately. Am sending you this email in agony and tears. I hope to have your response shortly. Regards Rogue Valley Roses

This is a direct cut/paste. It is not a legit email so do not fall for it!!
