This afternoon I had an e-mail from the organist at my old church, to tell me he'd been mugged in Manila and would I please send him "$2.800 US Dollars" to pay his hotel bill so that he would come home, and he'd refund me when he got back.
Strange, because he doesn't do "abroad": all his holidays tend to be on his boat trundling up and down canals. So I phoned him (at home) to check.
His BT Internet/Yahoo account had been hacked, needless to say. He'd had dozens of calls today. So I e-mailed him, all innocent-like, asking where he'd like the money sent, and got an immediate reply with the details.
I'm glad I resisted the blandishments of BT!
