Well, today I got emails from my friends worrying about me. Apparently, someone hacked into my yahoo account and sent this email asking for money. I did not send it. Please, if you have a yahoo account, create a seal to keep from ending up on a phishing site. The only sites I have been to have been for school, so I have no idea how this happened. Geez, this sucks!

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,We came down here to England for a short vacation and i was mugged at gun point last night,at the park of the hotel where we lodged all cash,creditcards and cell were stolen off me, thank God we have our life and passport. I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all,they asked us to wait for 3weeks but we can't wait till then. Our flight leaves in less than 3hrs from now and we are having problems settling the hotel bills. The hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the hotel bills. you can speak with him through this number +447024094501, we are freaked out at the moment you can wire the money to me through westernunion all you need is Name on my passport and location below.. Name:Christine Mauras Location:60 Hyde Park Gate - Kensington London sw7 5bb Kingdom Amount: $2,250 I'll def refund your cash as soon as i get home. Reply

So, did you let your friend down?
