My flight was delayed

#1

The only thing I don't understand is how anybody with enough intelligence to be able to read english and operate a computer well enough to read the e-mail and send a reply, let alone have $1500 in a bank account, could fall for such an obvious scam.

Regards

    How are you ? I traveled to Spain recently, but when getting back home I was stuck at the Madrid Airport due to the volcanic ash clouds from Iceland \. All flights have been delayed for some days already\.

I have spent all the money I got , and now I don't have any cash left to pay for the hotel and food. Can you please lend me some money ? I will pay you back when I am back home.
I need about 1,200 Euro( about 1,500 USD ), I would appreciate if you can help me with that amount. International bank transfer takes too long, so for urgent and quick transfer in minutes please send the money via Western Union Service with the details below:
First name: Dennis
Last name : Zegar
Address: 155 Fargo St .
City: Madrid
Country: Spain
Zip Code: 28006
To avoid any delays may be caused, please send me correct Money Transfer Control Number ( MTCN), Sender's name, Sender's address and Amount as soon as u done

Thanks a lot

This same thing happened on Facebook, someone got into someone else's account and said they were stuck in London and a friend wired money never to be seen again.
