I get these all the time from Nigeria. Take a look at the headers. You
will find a time offset of the original email. You will find it is the
Nigerian timezone. I once had someone try to nail me to send gift cards
to the president of another organization. Of course he was a good friend
of mine and we were talking on the phone when I received the email scam.
So, I started a scam back. I started asking him/her all kinds of
questions and then finished after a back and forth for a bit.... "Why
didn't you ask me to get these for you when we were sitting on the sofa?
We live in the same house." Not true of course, but bam, scammer was
gone. It was fun.
Now, I am the president of that organization and some of my people get
those messages that I need gift cards. They know it cannot be as it
would have to be approved by the board to spend that kind of money.

Mike is actually not “Hacked”. His position as president makes him a target
for phishing schemes. His email is being “spoofed” and the contact list is
public information found on the BVARC website.

For some reason Mike gets hacked often. I’ve gotten the same email in the
past.
