Yes, and sometimes the scammer is clever enough to know the name of one of your

hi,
scams like this aren't new or limited to univ city. a guy in new haven
used to try a similar scam but it was to "buy his baby formula at the
local grocery store." a friend actually walked the guy to the store to
buy the formula for the guy (he didn't want to just give him the money)
but
money to go to buy diapers
For his infant, whose diaper is supposedly full to overflowing.
He can go on for ages with the details.
There is a lot of this going around . . .
