Same thing here and my thoughts the same as yours. I had corresponded with him a while back.

After making inquiry, this was the response:
Good to hear from you. I'm sorry to bother you with this but it is a bad time for me . I had to make a sudden trip to Kharkov Ukraine due to some urgent matters to help my sick sister, she was diagnosed with (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) a type of Blood Cancer and had been undergoing treatment lately. The news of her illness arrived to me as an emergency.
The hospital management is demanding for a deposit before they can carry out the surgery operation to save her life and I traveled down here with little money because I never expected things to be the way it is right now. Can you assist me with a loan of $1,500 USD or any amount you can afford at the moment? I'll surely pay back as soon as I get back home.
Please, let me know if you can be of help so I can advise on how to transfer the funds. I’ll be happy to hear from you soon regarding my request and please remember to keep this private.
Regards,

Very much agreed on most of your note. With regard to emailing your friend, most likely that will do no good, unless you send it to a different email. The hacker normally diverts any returning email, so that they can respond to the duped people to get their money. Best to call the person and let them know.
