Yes I got one of these as well from what appeared to be a friend of mine. The reason I new it was fraud was because my friend is a Navy Seal Commander.
The line about tears in my eyes LOL right - not very likely. And Mugged? probably not.
I called the guy and told him his hotmail account had been hacked and some creep was trying to scam his friends list in his name.
I am guessing the Navy Seal Commander isn’t the “sensitive” type?!
