Yikes, my ex-brother-in-law's email account was hacked.

Hello

I travel to United Kingdom and I need your help cos I am in a fix. Can I get a loan of $3,815 ? You'll have it as soon as I get home next week. I lost my bank card and can't access the ATM as planned. I'll appreciate what you can give if not all. Please get back to me asap.... I'll advise on how to send it.


Thanks

Yes, he's a retired school teacher, so even if I hadn't seen this before, I'd be very suspicious.
