...this morning from a friend traveling in Europe (I didn't even know she was out of town!):
Hope you get this on time, I made a trip to Glasgow, Scotland and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and personal effects therein. The embassy has just issued me a temporary passport but I have to pay for a ticket and settle hotel bills. I've made contact with my bank but it would take me days to access funds in my account from Glasgow. I need you to lend me some funds to cover these expenses. I can give back to you as soon as I get in.
I can forward you details on how you can get the funds to me.
I await your response.
Thanks much.
Judy.
And my question is, do people still fall for this stuff? I mean, come on, keep your bag and passport where you can see it at all times!

This is an email scam. Your friend's passport is still in her sock drawer. At home. With her.
