So get this...

Original post by MrsDrinkh20

I am home sick again today (no fever woohoo!) and I get a facebook IM from some kid I went to high shcool with. We were never good friends...he is just a FB friend ya know

Anyway, he says that he is stuck in London. He was mugged at gun point, has no cash/credit cards and that he is at a public library on the computer. He said he needs me to loan him cash. Like ***?! I asked if he went to the police...he said he did and they weren't helpful at all. Then kept askng for cash..I told him no...I did the right thing right?

It sounds like one of those price of nigeria emails you get! And why would he ask ME?! It's not like we are close friends?!

It's a scam. His account was hacked. The same exact thing happened to my friend a week or two ago. His email was exactly like the one you have above. Meantime, he's fine.

I got the same thing back in the summer, it came from the email of a tour guide I'd contacted in Jamaica (Negril), but never hired. i just deleted it because I thought...the never of this guy to ask me for money. Am glad to see it was likely someone hacking in and trying to scam..Don't feel bad.
