Please remember that hackers and scammers are everywhere on the internet.
I stopped half-way through filling out the online western union thing, and realized... That wasn't Hilly. It was first of all weird how I didn't know she was in London. And I'm pretty sure she doesn't refer to herself as "am".... Then the species comment just proved it. Most people don't know I'm a furry and there's no pics or mention of it on my facebook.
I'm a very whole-hearted person when it comes to my friends. And if they are in some sort of trouble I'd help them, no questions asked. Luckily, I thought to ask Jeff if Hilary was even in England...
So, as a personal reminder, be aware at all times before exchanging money over the internet. Even with friends :(
I feel no need to censor the address.
