I got this about 3 or 4 days ago. Blocked it right away. Reminded me of a "Lola Smith" back in the yahoo messenger days who was "stuck in south Africa because someone stole her wallet, and needed money to come home".
Its actually a whole swarm of accounts involved in this. I got the exact same message at least 5 times and each time i blocked it.
It does appear to have stopped now thankfully.
