This doesn't surprise me about you actually. Well traveled people tend to be more well-rounded.
We're just going to overlook the fact that I haven't been on that side of the planet though.

i used to work with a guy form the former Yugoslavia.
If we moaned about having a bad day, he would tell the tale of when he and (most of) his family escaped the country in a 'borrowed' car, towing a trailer full of fuel, being sniped at from the hills - his friend shot, the children scared witless, freezing cold, not daring to put car lights on ...
Made out whinge about bad traffic a little lame 
Summary:
one car needs fixing, and is embarrassing to drive
second car got a flat tyre
I was nearly late for playing 5-a-side
Traffic was bad
And tomorrow? I have to take the wife to pick up her new car!
1st world problems indeed!
Big breaths!

An NLP analysis of your text reveals a very high correlation between "wife" and each of your problems. Hmmmm...

I got that you had an exceptional good day, but I didn't got something - are you paying! to use air compressor at gas station?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

He has, however, survived breaking bread with me, and did not wake at the bottom of an abandoned mine shaft, with a bag of lime weighting him down.
Will Rogers never met me.

When I see stupid phishing attempts like this I always wonder: "How much money can the people stupid enough to fall for this sort of thing have to steal?"

Clearly, you watching too much porn.

That's a very strange scam. How do they know you're watching too much porn?

The real question is: Is there such a thing as too much porn? 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

They're probably just playing the odds.. that if you're on the internet and can read their message, then chances are you've been watching a lot of porn.

There are about 7 billion people on the planet.
I have no idea how many of them are on the internet, but assume roughly 50% - that's 3.5 billion people.
Judging by what some people say[^], the proportion of dumb people on the internet is pretty high. But, for argument's sake, let's assume it's around 1%. That's 35 million dumb people.
If you can steal $1* from each of those people, most people would consider that a success.
* Unless it's a Zimbabwean dollar.

If dumb people fall for that how are they not already broke?

How could they be broke when they've won the Spanish Lottery, and been given so much money for helping those nice people from Nigeria to move their millions of dollars out of the country?

Because I have free money to send you of course! You'd never go broke with all this free money I'm just giving away. I just need you to put in some credentials here...

Must be inflation in IQ--50 years ago, the average IQ was only 72.
