詐欺メールに狙われる その１

わたしが副会長をしているIAAERの会長から、次のようなメールがきた。

Hello Prof.Yoshihiro. 

How are you?　Our friend Prof.○○○ and IAAER Vice President and member from Nigeria are on the way now to Japan to attend His sister funeral. As far as I know, they are on the way to Japan and they have some problem in the Philippine airport. Kindly call them at 00639064176763 +639064176763 and please help them in any possible way and I will call you as soon as possible. At this time, its midnight here in New York and I have a flight to catch later this morning back to Durham... I will call you as soon I will arrive in my office. Thank you very much in advance and God Bless.

つまり、ある先生の姉妹のお葬式に参列するため、

日本に向かっていたが、フィリピン空港で足止めをくらっているので、

助けてほしいというものだ。



それは大変だ！と

どんなトラブルで、わたしが何をすればよいのか、と質問。

すぐに返事がきた。

家族のビザ代が、日本円にして10万円とは高いなと感じたが、
