The lastest scam going around is to hack someones email and then send everyone on their contact list an email posing as the hackee saying that they were mugged while traveling abroad and asking them to wire money to help get home. It was featured on Nightline last week. Last week, one of my colleagues at work got this email claiming to be from a former coworker. That she might be abroad was plausible but it had holes like asking for money to be sent to Western Union to pay for medical bills in a country with socialized medicine under a name different than the hackee and asking for less than a ticket home would cost. Still, we had to remind my coworker that he didnt have extra money to be sending.
