We got an email last year from HI...to my husband from a friend of his asking for money to fly home because his mom had died. But.. my hub knew his friend was teaching and it seemed like an ODD time for him to be traveling. So.. he called him at home and sure as heck.. HE WAS HOME.
What an eerie feeling. We had JUST seen a deal on the news about these types of scams... and I am SO GLAD WE DID.
Always appreciative of the warnings and/or reminders.
