日前又接到一封來自朋友的Yahoo帳戶的電郵,不是「疑似」,可以肯定是詐騙:
Hello,
I'm
sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling ,My family and i came down
to Madrid Spain for a short holiday unfortunately we got mugged at the
gun point last night at the park of the hotel where we lodged.All
cash,credit cards and cell phone were stolen. we've been to the embassy
and the Police here but they're not helping the issues at all,Our flight

hotel manager won't let us leave until the hotel bills is settle
(2,500 USD)now am freaked out.Please reply and let me know if can you
have the money wire to me through Western Union we promise to pay back
as soon as we get back home.

這個XXX是與我同住布里斯本的華人朋友,已經幾年沒見過面。英文寫得很爛,也看得出不是香港人的文筆;用字方面,在澳洲人人叫手機做Mobile Phone,沒有人跟美國佬叫 Cell Phone的。
我相信是他的電郵信箱給人Hack了進去,按著通訊錄漁翁撒網的發出詐騙訊息。要斷定這些電郵是否詐騙有辦法,你抄其中一句Google一下,就會找到很多網友的詐騙報告。
於是我附了信件原文,發出回覆:
Dear XXX,
I believe your email account has been hacked and used to send out scams.
You may wish to change your password immediately.
