I received an urgent e-mail...

...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!
