I received an email from what I thought was a friend of mine in Canada, pleading for help saying she was stuck in a foreign country. I hadn't noticed the change in email until after I replied, very worried about what the "problem" was. The next email asked me for a large amount of money to be sent to the email address. It was then I noticed the changed email. I deleted everything and changed my password. With so many emails going around, we don't always check each email address for accuracy. For anyone who gets these hoax messages, it might be a good idea to change your password. Thanks for being so vigilant, Charm. It's comforting to know we can always get the straight scoop here at OCF.
