Hello everyone and welcome to English Odd.
My name is Marco.
My name is Catherine and today we're talking about something that is,
well, not so fun when it happens.
That's right,
today we're going to talk about those situations where people are trying to take advantage of us.
Alright, they're lying to us so they can take our money.
Let's take a listen to today's dialogue and when we come back in a moment we'll be talking about some of these words and phrases that you're about to hear.
I got an urgent email from Tom.
He says he's in London and got robbed and needs us to wire him some money for his hotel.
What?
That sounds really dodgy to me.
No way.
Tom is an honest person.
He wouldn't lie to me.
No, I mean, it seems like someone may have hacked his email account and sent that out.
I mean, think about it.
Why would he email you instead of calling you?
Do you really think someone is trying to scam people into sending money?
For sure.
