Someone is impersonating a friend

Hi all.

A friend if mine's email address book got hacked and someone has created a new email address and has contacted me pretending to be my friend.

Fortunately I am aware of this and don't intend to fall victim.

My 'friend' has asked me to help them out by making a payment to someone in the US using western union. They have provided a name and bank details, would it be helpful if I posted this information on this site?

Best regards

We require evidence of scams, so please post the full email where you are asked to send the money by Western Union.
