I just spent the last three days dealing with a scammer who was
impersonating my lawyer by e-mail. Tried to get me to buy $500 worth of
iTunes cards so he/she/it could pay for a "legal" document that, let's
just abbreviate this, that "hshit" needed to download and was out of
town on and didn't have access to "hshits" regular funding.
I played along for a bit, not being entirely sure it was a scam until
the $500 amount was mentioned, what is it with these a**h***s and $500
anyway, after which the smell of rat was unmistakable.
Nothing remarkable about this except the manner in which I was
approached directly.
It's a dangerous internet out there, be careful people.
I used asterisks not because I had to, this is a private mailing list
after all, but because I wanted to.
