I’d luckily heard about these scams and asked a couple questions to be sure- the responses were bot-like and the english appalling. When I called them on it, I was unfriended, which makes me sad. I looked this up to add to the status update I put up to warn our mutual friends. Thanks for posting it!

I got the “stranded in London” e-mail from a friend here in Chicago. I knew it wasn’t him because the English was TOO good (he speaks French). It’s been reported, but what is the best site for crime-fighters? First Facebook, then gmail, then msn, then Yahoo… who’s next? Please somebody tell us WHERE to report this.

These idiots changed my password, changed my secret questions and answers, so i couldnt get into the account initially, finally google gave me access Then the mongrels had a forwarding addres to a msn account under my name. So check that in your account settings. I don’t know how i got hacked and what a pain arranging a new email account and changing passwords on all accounts like eBay etc.

Is anyone aware of a link to law enforcement that can follow up on these crooks and cramp their style? I had a couple friends that continued to communicate with the crooks and obtained a couple addresses in London. I would be glad to forward the e-mail streams if I knew who would take it seriously.
Thanks
