Received a call from a friend from another city whom I last met many months ago. Someone called him saying 'I' met with a car accident on way to visit him this weekend. 'I' was 'supposedly' hospialised, needing certain amount of money as deposit for an emergency surgery. My friend was supposed to remit the money immediately. He called my mobile to check. Of course once I answered the call, he knew it was someone's cute way to cheat some money off him.
People who know about the two of us wont do that sort of things, so he boiled it down to his yahoo mail being infiltrated.
I get about 1 text sms per week saying "Just deposit the money into so-and-so account at so-and-so bank". 1 in a million chance of hitting someone somewhere waiting for phone instruction to deposit some money, but these guys never stop trying.
