Default Is this a scam?

This purportedly came from a fellow member this morning but I have my doubts. I'll ring him later to see if he is at home.

I hope that this meets you well.
I could not inform everyone about my trip to Athens,Greece , for a program because it was impromptu. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour I was mugged at gun point and all my valuables were stolen, (cash, bank cards and mobile phone, where I went for sightseeing before leaving to the airport since my return flight is in few hours, quite honestly it was beyond a dreadful experience for me but looking on the bright side I wasn't seriously hurt or injured, I am still alive so that is what's important and luckily I had my passport in my hotel room to get me home.


I need your help financially to get back home, I need to settle some outstanding hotel bills and also take a cab to the airport. I am really sorry i am asking this of you, believe me I don't want to ask I would rather take care of it my self but I cant, I have contacted my bank, but the best they can do is to mail a new card which will take 2 to 3 days to get here. All I need right now is £1900, If you can help that would be great and I promise to make the refund once I get back home.


Please let me know if I can count on you and I need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way I can reach me. Any help would be appreciated.


Kind regards,
