Hello how may I help you? I think I'm being scammed or something. You think you can help? I can help provide information about various scams. Can you tell me what happened? Well i got this weird email. The name of the email is from a friend but the contents are all things that are quite frankly explicit and vulgar I believe your friend's email address has been compromised. Do not open any attachments you receive from emails from this individual. Please alert them to the situation. I will do that. I thought it was weird because it had strange picture attachements and links ive never heard of before. You think their computer is infected? In most cases it is only the email itself that has been hacked. If your friend has sensitive information within his/her emails they will need to contact their banking representatives and alert them to the situation. You think I should setup some kind of a spam filter to catch these kind of emails? Perhaps even report them? You can report false emails to www.fraudalert.com. Spam filters often help the situation, but it's best to never open emails from unknown parties. Thank you for the helpful information! I am happy to help. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
