My old boss just sent me what sounds like a scam e-mail

[GilloD]

The dude was shade-town to start with and now I haven't spoken to him in about two years. His crappy business folded and now I get this:

Hi,
How are you doing today? I'm sorry If this may be a bit bothering to you, I know I didn't inform you in my previous mail that I was having a trip, please accept my apology, I just don't know how to explain this to you, I'm currently Stranded right now,as in Intend to attend an international conference at the United Kingdom, I was robbed on my way going to the hotel this morning, I'm only asking for your help, can you loan me some money? as soon as I return to NJ I will make the refunds, I have tried to contact the agencies here but nothing is really working out, I'm totally confused and I don't know what to do.

Please use the Hotel address below when you get to the western Union
outlet this morning, send $2500, I'm sorry for the inconvenience I may
cost you.


The Hempel Hotel London
31-35 Craven Hill Gardens
W2 3EA
London.

Please get back to me with the senders information when the money is send to me asap

I'm in the city library writing to you, please let me read from you as
soon as possible. I hope everything is well with you.
Thanks.

Just help him out man, why would he fool you?

Just help him out man, why would he fool you?

Because his businesses tanked, he ran around on his wife and he was generally weird. And then he asks me to send him 2500$?

It also looks like he was taken captive by an almost literate Nigerian scammer.

I only have liked or trusted 6 people I have worked for; My pops (obvious reasons), My boss at LC (he just sat in the back and smoked cigarettes. Most laid back boss ever.), my two bosses in the labs, my old department manager from last summer (still the only man I've ever dealt with that I'm not related to that has both a manager's badge and common sense in the entire place.), and my current boss' boss (Related to.).

my msn got hacked a few weeks ago and it deleted my contacts and sent a spam email to everyone on my list.

This resulted in me getting replies from a bunch of friends I hadn't talked to in years....all who thought it was a legit email.  

ah, I knew some shit like that happened. I just deleted it.
