That rich Nigerian prince fellow must have found someone to take all his money, because he hasn't emailed me in ages.
I've also noticed that my friends have become better at international travel. I no longer receive emails from "close friends" (whom I haven't heard from in years) allegedly stranded overseas, desperate because they were mugged, had their passport stolen and now urgently need help to buy a Google Play card for a grandkid's birthday.
If I were stranded with no money, identification or passport, the last thing on my mind would be a grandkid's birthday. (Sorry, kids!)
