Horrible New……………

There are so many things wrong with this garbled bit of rubbish, allegedly sent by a friend, that it’s hard to know where to start.  So I won’t.

This is from a hacked (or spoofed) email account.  My friend hasn’t left the country and would never ask me to loan them nearly £3k.

NEVER respond to one of these heartfelt pleas for money from a friend.  No true friend would ask you for money by email.  If they genuinely needed cash (and I know that happens) they would ask you in person, either face to face or they would phone you.

This is scammer who is hoping you will take pity on your friend in need and send them large amounts of cash.

Even if this was my friend, I don’t have that kind of money sitting in my bank waiting to send.
