NEW SCAM USING YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS

I receieved an email this morning from a friend of mine who said she took a short trip out of the country (could be anywhere) and that her wallet and credit cards were stolen. That she went to the embassy and they put her up in a hotel until she could fly back home (the embassy was paying for her flight). She emailed me a phone number (supposedly to the hotel so I could wire her money that she would later pay me back once she got home.

Fortunately many of her friends called her to confirm this and she answered her phone and then started calling other friends and told them this was a hole scam.
She also called back the number provided by the scammer and found it was diconnected.

She had to then change her password on all of her emai accounts and her checking account number. Don’t send money.
