 I got an email from Bernard, about knee pain which gmail put into spam.  Looked a little funny and was not from the account I expected.

Wrote back to the account I do have, to tell B that his account may have been hacked.  And immediately got a response that was even stranger.  Sob stories about niece etc.  I had requested some info as confirmation, and of course this was not mentioned.

I was surprised that two email counts had been compromised, but I guess this makes it easier to see what is going on for the scammer.

The english was fine, but somehow was without character.

I am not sure how Bernard can ever set up his email again, without resorting to the telephone.

looked up AI and spam on google, and this was all foreseen earlier this year.  

I do not think that the scammer had linked the two accounts of B together.  There was no evidence that the second letter, knew anything about the first.  Since I have not responded directly to the scammer, I am not sure I will be a person of interest.

Not sure how I can send anything to Bernard now, and will have to wait for him to contact me, directly or indirectly.
