My Aunt is NOT in the UK and she does NOT need money to get home...

Tweet

This morning after my Wii workout, I saw an e-mail from my Aunt that was marked "hello urgent help pls" in the Subject line. That sounded odd, but I thought she needed something local and wanted me to mail it to her. I opened the e-mail and realized someone had hacked her account. Here's what the e-mail said (I changed the e-mail address, but the rest is the same): ******* Hi, I really don't mean to inconvenience you right now but I made a quick trip to the UK and I lost a bag which contains my passport and credit cards. I know this may sound odd, but it all happened very fast. I've been to the US embassy and they're willing to help me fly without my passport but I just have to pay for my ticket and settle some bills. Right now I'm out of cash plus i can't access my bank without my credit card over here. I have contacted them but they need more verification. I'm just gonna have to plead with you to lend me some funds right now? I'll pay back as soon as I get home. I need to get on the next available flight home. Please reply as soon as you get this message so I can forward the details as to where to send the funds. You can reach me via the hotel's desk phone if you can, the numbers are, 011447024051751 or 011447024043675 You can also email me via my googlemail XXXXX@gmail.com, as I can easily access it here. I await your response... ******** I wonder how many people would actually think it was her and call or e-mail with information to send her money to get home? Just a little warning for ya'll, be careful!!!
