It was a scam

Okay, it was a scam. Sorry for bashing ya John. :)

Apparently Facebook has gotten hacked and some people have been able to get into people's accounts to scam other people. I am usually the one reading the forwards about this stuff, but this actually happened to me!! lol So beware...if anyone asks you money - even if it is a long time friend...verify where they are! Most of my friends don't travel much, but he does, so him being in London wasn't a shock. But he wasn't in London, and it was a scam. So beware...

Here is a link to someone else's story and more info on this particular fraud.
