Just call me the gatekeeper.
I received an email today from a girl I barely know who used to be in my ward, asking me to send her money because she's stranded in Europe, having lost all of her money and identification. I wrote her back asking for some info to verify that it was her, knowing it was probably one of those scams where they hack into your email and mass email everyone in your address book. The creepy thing is that I got an email back! I emailed back and forth with this character, but they wouldn't verify anything, just kept asking for help. I've since called the girl and she's aware of the problem. What is this world coming to?! I'm conversing with a hacker, in plain English, and I have no way to catch them. Well, I say bring it. Once again, world, I'm here to tell you that YOU WILL NOT GET MY MONEY, AND I WILL NOT HELP YOU ESCAPE JUVY!

You get 'em Stef!
I got that same email this weekend from a friend. Do they really get money that way??
I have heard of that same scam where people really get taken for a lot of money and their identity so don't ever fall for it!! Why would anyone try to get money from a Snow person when we all have very shallow pockets?! Maybe they go for world travelers. Huh?
I'm confused on how they made the connection between the girl in the ward and you? Is it somebody who use to be in your ward? That makes me mad that people use church information for scams;/
I got one of those, too! And a couple years ago I got one that said it was from the FBI. So I called the FBI and told them I got a scam email "from them." They said they already knew about it and to just delete it. So I guess that goes for all of them, huh?
