Green Party list MP Kevin Hague is today reassuring people that he is alive and well in New Zealand, not trapped penniless in Spain, as an email scam claims.
Mr Hague’s personal email account has been hacked and a scamster purporting to be him is emailing his account contact list to say that he is in financial difficulty, having misplaced his bag in Spain, and desperately needs US$2000 to cover his hotel bill and flight home.
Promising immediate reimbursement when he returns home, the email says: “I feel so devastated, now my passport and other belongings have been retained by the hotel management pending the time I pay my hotel bills. This is shameful.”
