Someone called their house on the telephone pretending to be my friend's son - their grandson - saying he had been in an accident and had been arrested and needed bail. I didn't get the details of how they got the money transferred but the old folks sent several hundred dollars as instructed. Common scam. Somebody nicked my parents for $2K that way. More recently they tried it on me. The first thing the ask is, do you know who this is? So I said no, and waited. He came back around again with the same question, finally leading up to him saying he was surprised I didn't know who was. I told him I was even more surprised the he didn't know who he was. And that he was nobody I knew, and that he was a thief trying to scam me. Click.
Be not weary in well doing.

Just now I got an email from Craig Boddington (?)... I have met him several times, but this email said he was stranded, and requested $1995 dollars to help him out.. I seriously doubt this is a real situation, but a scam.. I did not reply, nor check to see if I had his address, which I may.. I felt the best way to get to the bottom of this is get the info. to folks who know him or how to get intouch with him quickly.. Thanks.. Michelle Obama is stranded and she only need fifty bucks to help her out , just send me the money and i will see that she gets it.

I got an email this week from a friend in Oklahoma saying that he took a short vacation to Turkey and was in accident where the cab driver was killed and he had a separated shoulder and bruised head. His chit was stolen when he woke up blah blah blah.
A quick phone call revealed it as a scam. Someone hacked his computer. FFuckin losers..

Mine said that I was stranded in the Philippines. Everyone who got it knew it was a scam because 1) I ain't going to the Philippines; 2) See No. 1.

I think he's on his way to Pakistan. He might need it.
