You'd think hackers would be more original. They use the same old scam over and over again and no one falls for it. Guess they're not as bright as they think they are.
Can I share the name? Not sure, but feel free to tell me, or anyone can PM me. Initials are CC.
Anyway, just received the "stuck on a trip and something horrible happened, can you please send me some money" email from a provider I once contacted, but never saw. Subject line is "Horrible Vacation Trip..." followed by the provider name. Having received a very similar email a while back from a member of my own family, I recognize this as evidence her email has been hacked and now is being used for a scam.
Last time I experienced this, the emails went out in waves over a period of a week to everyone in the address book, while the hacker controlled the mailbox, continually changing the security info to stay ahead of attempts to reclaim it. So if you have ever exchanged emails with this lady, your turn is coming.
