Don't be the victim of a scam
the friend in need scam Have you ever received an email from a friend who is overseas and urgently needs you to send money? Emma Park did, and it cost her $2,000. Emma,22,form Chicago, was the victim of a scam. Somebody hacked into her friend's email account and sent urgent messages to everyone in the contacts list. Emma didn't even think of calling her friend to check if the email really was from him. She sent the money, and by the time she realized it was a scam, it was too late. Emma never got her money back.
DON'T send money to anyone if you get an email like this.
DO contact your friend to ask if there is a problem.
