Have you received any similar email before?

I had received a mail from my dear friend in Kuching. It makes no sense but I still feel worry about him. So I sms him to make sure this is not scam. He called me back, told me that he had received many phone calls regarding this matter. He said, he never sends such email, and obviously his yahoo account has been hacked!

My hubby told me that his friend had sent the money to the con man after receiving the email few months ago. Feel so sorry for his friend as 2000 Euro is a lot. 

It seems like it is unwise to keep your confidential information in your mailbox. We never know what and when will this happen to us. Keep my finger cross.

All these con-man knows how to manipulate people's mind. They will either use your greed or your kindness to con you without you knowing. Once you know their tactic, you will amaze that they just need to use one story repeatedly and yet still have many people around the world get conned.

How I wish that the con-man can get caught one day.
