Default Ill Cousin in Spain Scam

Just received a heart wrenching e-mail from my neighbor and friend who happens to be on the golf course at this time and unaware he is being used in a scam. Message says his cousin is sick and hospitalized in Madrid, etc., etc. Obviously he has been hacked.

This a new slant on the "grandson letter".

These are very crude methods of soliciting money but they can seem real to the unwary.

This is just a heads-up.
