How are you doing today? I am sorry i didn't inform you about my traveling to Nigeria for a program .It as been a very sad and bad moment for me over here and the present condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain.
 

I am really stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my little bag in the Taxi where my money, passport,documents and other valuable things were kept on my way to the Hotel am staying, I am facing a hard time here because i have no money on me to clear my Hotel bill, I am now owning a sum $2000 for my Hotel bill.
 
I need you to help me out with a sum of $3,500 urgently so that i can arrange and travel back home,I need this help so much and on time because i am in a terrible and tight situation here, please understand how important and urgent i needed your help.
 
I will appreciate what so ever you can afford to send me immediately through Western Union or Money Gram and I promise to pay back your money as soon as i return home so please let me know on time so that i can forward you the details you need to transfer the money through Money Gram or Western Union And let this be personal even if you can't help because i don't want people to be worried about me.

 

Although it was quite obvious that the email was a hoax, I called to alert my friend. Yahoo! has blocked his account for 48 hours while they sort out the account's issues. He now owes his friends from around the world a letter explaining the situation. *Time to change those passwords!

Can you spot a hoax when you see one?
