Email Scam Alert

My mom just got an email, claiming to be from a friend, who visited Scotland, and had stuff stolen. The "friend" asked for $4500.

It's obviously a scam. She just needs to phone her friend to confirm that it is, if the email isn't obvious enough.

I wanted to throw that out to you, because the email was signed by the name of the friend, and sent from the friend's email address, making it just a bit more convincing.
