New Nigerian scam technique

You get email ostensibly from a friend’s email account saying they are in Africa, had wallet stolen, and need funds to get home with. Please send by Western Union.
For this to work, the scammmers probably used automated software to worm into the person’s email account (probably Outlook) then simply sent the bogus email to everyone in the address book.
