I advise everyone to contact their loved ones and inform them of this possibility. I also advise having some codeword that would be used if there was an emergency and money needs to be sent.

For example is more than $100 is being asked for we have to share the code word or we should not transfer money.

Hey is me, your cousin. I'm kinda in a jam and need your help. The contractor cut me a huge check after the fire that took everything but the bank won't cash it without proof. I just need $101 for proof and I can pay back immediately.

This is for real.

Thanks.
