Scam

Sorry for the scam emails, everyone. Obviously, we are not stranded in Scotland after being attacked by an armed gunman. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY. That email is not from me! Please delete it and run a precautionary virus scan on your computer.

If anyone knows how to retrieve the permanently deleted emails (thank you, hacker!) that I just lost I would be incredibly grateful. Please comment here, rather than email me for now.

I didn't get this one, but have received that particular email before...I hate hackers...I say put them to work picking trash on the side of the road...

I just received that email and was all "Bitch, please. 1) I'm pretty sure you could kick a muggers ass. Pregnant and all. 2) You know that I'm an artist for a living... so uh... I'm probably the last person to ask for money."

But in all seriousness, that sucks. I'm sorry.

I just got the email and we were laughing at my inability to remember who ks xxx was LOL
I am happy that you are not stranded in Scotland and begging for cash on the internet ... snicker.
I will now run the virus check on my husbands computer, which I am using .. he will never let me use it again if there is a virus :(

That was you? i had no idea!

There weren't even any details on the email about where to send the money. I'm not one to promote scamming, but seriously. This scammer was delinquent on the details.

Damn - so I SHOULD NOT have sent you that $25,000 so that you could get home???? ;)

Hackers, scam artists, con men (or women)are all various types of theives and miscreants! A special level of Hell should be reserved for all those who think it is acceptable to prey on the good heartednes of honest, caring people for their own gain. They are a scourge on humanity!
