Betsy Devine: Funny ha-ha and/or funny peculiar

Ai yi yi. My old old Hotmail account, which I opened in 1998, has been hacked into by somebody who is sending requests for money to everybody that I have ever emailed from it. Needless to say, this person has also changed the account password so I can’t get back in and Microsoft is completely unresponsive. Here is the email going out, please do NOT send money to this scammer who is, I promise you, not me!

Fortunately, this nitwit forgot to change the sigline, which points to this blog.

Hello,

How are you doing? Hope all is well with you and your family, I am sorry I didn’t inform you about my traveling to England for a Seminar/conference.

I need a favor from you as soon as you receive this email, I misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money, and other valuable things were kept. Can you urgently assist me with a soft loan of $2,600 US Dollars to sort-out my hotel bills and get myself back home. You are the only one I can trust with this, please can this be between us? You have my word; I will refund you as soon as I return.

I will appreciate whatever you can afford, I’ll pay you back as soon as I return I promise, Let me know if you can assist, to enable me send you the details to use in sending the money through western union.

Thanks,

Betsy
