Stranded in London - Facebook scam
There's this Facebook chat scam that's been going around. A friend that I haven't spoken to in ages wrote to me, pretending to be stranded in London and asking for money. I found this amusing because he is from London! So I figured that he was a scammer and had fun going along with the game until the scammer got impatient and blocked me.
Enjoy!
*Friend's name has been changed to conceal his identity!
Seems like I'm not the only one. See Anthony's and Graham's posts. Also see Facebook's take on this issue.
P.S. Can anyone explain to me how does the scammer get the money from Western Union without valid Passport Identification?
Sam

Are You Right or Left Brained?
| You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained |
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
