Some months ago, my yahoo account was compromised - my family, friends and colleagues received emails saying I was away on a writing retreat [feasible] - I was in a certain country - similar location to a place I visit occasionally to rest and write [feasible] - I had had my purse and passport stolen [feasible]. Many of my friends believed this to be true and I received a barrage of messages, phone calls and emails resulting in worrying an elderly parent. One colleague even suggested he scanned my old passport and email it to me.
I was running an internet search earlier today on fake emails and came across this site and information - sharing warnings about internet dating.

Be careful out there everyone ~ and if you come across any wishy-washy-yarning-heart-string-pulling-scary-fibbers ... please share with us to help keep us all safe.
