Facebook con artists on the rise

I recently got an unusual email from a friend I don't hear from very often. The message described a desperate scenario where he and his wife had been mugged, beaten, and robbed. While his wife was lying in the hospital with broken ribs, he was trying to check out of their hotel, but without money or credit cards, this was proving difficult. The gist of the message was that they needed money fast to settle with the hotel and catch their flight home. Callous and heartless person that I am, I chuckled and went about my day.
