I got a new and different scam a couple weeks ago. Wish I'd saved it to cut-n-paste here. It came from what looked like an actual email adress from an actual relative. Said she was on a trip in Spain, had her hotel room broken into, and all her money stolen. Needed $2000 quick, sent to Western Union, blah, blah, blah. It actually made me stop and re-read it several times. I finally realized the spelling and grammer sucked, so it couldn't be my cuz. Got an email from her later that night, saying her computer had been hacked into, and she had to change her email address, ISP account, and all.
These guys are getting a little smarter, although they need to learn better english to make it work.
