Re: I'm stranded in London! Send money!

Same thing happened to a friend this morning, replace London for Wales
though.

Funny thing was they said they were there with their husband and baby, when
the husband was sitting behind the person they were trying to scam. The
scammer instantly logged off when this came to light. So I don't think its a
bot.
