to me

My niece needed me to get her a Google play Gift card, It's her birthday but i can't do this now because I'm currently out of town. Pls can you get the card from any store around you or visit the website to get it done online, I have tried severally it says they are having issues charging my card. I contacted my bank and they told me it would take a couple of days to get it sorted.. I'll pay back as soon as i get back. Please let me know if you can handle this.

I am just trying to put a smile on her face in this trying times.

I owe you a lot

Thanks

Rolene

A few others received emails from her also. However, the message field in my email was blank.

Second oldest scam there is, right after the widow of the Nigerian prince who wants help bring his millions to the US.

Perhaps someone who knows Rolene better than I, and more
importantly , she knows, could let her know she was probably hacked..??

Got the same email - I figured it was a "scam"! This would be so out of character for her.

I got a real suspicious email the other day from Tom Brumley.
