If you got an email from me asking for money, it's a hoax. I just got a phone call from a friend asking if I was out of town...I am not...and I am not asking for money, gift cards or anything else.
Fortunately, my friend knows me well enough to check out the fishy details before sending money to "help" me and let me know there is a scam going on using my name.
I don't know where else this might show up and I don't know who in my email address book may have been contacted so my best effort to counter this scam is to post on FB that it is a fake. I would never, ever ask for money in this way.
Please don't fall for a scam.
