Please alert your friends.
And use the resources at hand to investigate. This scam is at least two years running.

My friends have average intelligence and wouldn’t fall for something like this.
Just another in a long list of reasons NOT to join Facebook and other so-called “social media.”
Our grand daughter lives about 60 miles from us, and we got a call saturday: This is xxx, I’m in trouble, I need help.
My wife had answered the phone: Where are you xxx, “I’m in Mexico. I need help.”
We are at least five hundred miles from Mexico, and the voice didn’t sound quite right.
“Grandmother, I need help”.
That did it, because the word is Nana.
Lot’s of scams going around.
Impossible. There are no guns in the UK.
I’ve received this email a few times... obviously a scam.
