Email scam again

The email scam is doing the rounds again, I've had several this week from various friends and LMA members.
If you get an email from anyone that reads similar to this, just delete it.

I Hope you get this on time, I came down here to Ukraine, for a short vacation,unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and mobile phone were stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us.
We've been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all the bad news is our flight will be leaving in less than 18-hrs from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.
I'll need your help (LOAN) financially of 1,940 pounds. I promise to make the refund once we get back home. Please let me know if you can help and i need you to keep checking your email because it's the way only i can reach you.

Hello Lynne,

Someone hacked into my email with this scam,I have had emails and phone calls from all over my contacts list .Just hope everyone deleted it ,I hope to have stopped it by changing my password and some new virus protection.
As a holiday destination the Ukraine ,at the moment,won't be at the top of anyone's list.Thanks for highlighting it.
Regards
