Hi all. I got an "email" from a friend, stating that he needed my help! (Yep, I knew it was a scam as soon as I saw it!) While he lives in Florida, and recently told me his father has had some health problems, the email told me he was in the Philippines and had been mugged! He had "lost" his credit cards, cash and cell phones!
Later that day, I got an email from my friend, (the real one, not the scammer)stating that his email account had been hacked!
Not being one to just let things lie, I sent back a response!
"Sorry to hear, John! However I cannot provide any financial assistance, as my wife found out my 22 year old HOT girlfriend is pregnant! If you can hold out for a few weeks until things calm down, I'll see what I can do!"
Surprisingly, they responded, stating that they needed $2050 to settle their hotel bill and thanked me for responding! "Well, all I need now is just $2050 you can have it wired to my name via Western Union. I'll show my passport as ID to pick it up here and promise to pay you back as soon as I get back home!" They then listed their contact info in Malate, Manila, Philippines!
I then sent the response to my friend, which he laughed at, but stated that despite it all, he never received any money!
Just be careful with who wants money!
