I suspect that no one reading this website is foolish enough to fall for this scam, but I thought I'd share my experience with it anyway. It starts with an email from someone you know: Hello, I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's due to the situation of things right now. I'm stuck in London, England right now, I came down here for a short vacation then i was robbed, worse of it is that bags, cash and cards and my cell phone were stolen at GUN POINT, it's such a crazy experience for me, I need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is i still have my passport and return ticket but currently having troubles paying off the hotel bills and also getting a cab to take me to the airport. Please i need you to loan me some money, will refund you as soon as i'm back home, i promise.All i need is ($900 USD) but dont know how much you would be able to spare..we will be waiting to hear back from you on how you can get the fund to me please Thank You

The first time I got one, I wrote back inquisitively: Hi Anna,

Sorry about that! We can do it.

How do you want the money sent? -Marvin Frankson and got a quick reply: Hey babe, Don't send any money!!! My gmail and facebook have been hacked any conversations that have taken place in the last 8 hours have not been me!!! Anna Cockerham
