Funny story: I got an email from xH (the american) yesterday addressed to all friends in his yahoo contact list saying he had been robbed in London (under the threat of a knife)and needed help (money) to get back to US. The wording seemed fishy to me and I ignored it. Tried to call but couldnt reach him. A few hours later, he sent everybody another email saying he was in NY, safe, and that someone had hacked his yahoo account. Immediately various friends of his, replied saying they were chatting with him on FB getting instructions how to send him money!!! Thankfully none of them had managed to do so, before he sent the real email. Crazy huh? K
