I mean, if you wanted to in general, fine. But if you received a request for money from me last night or today because I was stuck in London, it’s bogus. While $1,500 might actually cover George Parker’s pub tab, it’s from hackers and an account in Africa which got hold of my account. And if I ever did hit you bitches up, it would be for a lot more than $1,500. The lesson (besides changing your password every so often), is that this is either an example of supportive friends, or reaaaally good copywriting because a LOT of almost people fell for it.

Ha ha, I got that e-mail, but I said "Screw you" and sent the money to Darryl Ohrt instead.
Felt guilty replying that I couldn't help you. But only for about 5 seconds.
One more thing: Sure, blame it on the guys in Africa.
The only time I hear from a lot of people is when they're looking for money...
It was brilliant copy. I came soooooo close to falling for it. Why? Because the fact that my friend Bill is so uberhip and cutting edge and transcontinental that getting stuck in London as the victim of a crime seemed probable, if not inevitable.
I don't consider myself a sucker, Bill, just a damn good friend who knows you too well ;)
