They tried it on me also.

I actually called the "friend" just for the fun of it and after I told him that his friend sent me to him for a particular sign, he said he had one and all I had to do was send him a money-gram and he would send the sign. I asked for a picture and he then wanted my email address, I told him to send a pic to my phone and never heard from him. The guy I talked to spoke with a foreign accent.
