As I wrote in another post, my Yahoo and Facebook accounts were compromised this morning, with some scam artist claiming to be me, in London, mugged and broke, looking for someone to wire him money. A suspicious friend, Lawrence Cummer, engaged him in a Facebook chat. Here's the transcript (the time is 10:52 Eastern).

Are you able to give me a call?
What I find truly fascinating is this dork thought he could pass himself off as me to someone who actually knew me well enough to wire me money.
