Since figured out I was taken.
I think scammers and hackers have found a way to steal his contact list and forge the email headers, and have my replies go to them instead of him. I don't think he did anything wrong, and maybe doesn't even know something bad is going on in his name.
I'm out 200 US which went to G-d knows who in Spain. Probably not this fellow.
If you recognize who this is and can phone him, let him know his yahoo account was probably hacked and someone is going around begging for short term loans to cover a catastrophe, in his name.
In the meantime, don't do what I did. If someone you think you know asks for money by email, verify it by phone before sending any.681
