My email was hijacked the other day. All my contacts received the message below. Afterwards, I no longer received any of my email. After digging around I found where this person was forwarding all of my email to the following address: [email protected]. They also changed my facebook password at 4:08 am on 7-13-11. According to facebook it was changed by a computer around Panama City, FL.
I have recovered access to all of my accounts and am currently trying to change all of my passwords.
Thank you,
Linda Martin

Subject: Terrifying Situation - Need Your Urgent Help!!!
To:
I'm writing this with tears in my eye, my family and I came down here to West Midlands, UK for a short vacation and got mugged at the park of the hotel we stayed, all our cash, credit card and cell were stolen off us at GUN POINT but luckily for us we still have our passports with us but don't have enough money to sort the bills so we can get out of here.
We've been to the embassy and the cops but they're not helping issues at all and our round flight leaves soon and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills, I'm freaked out at the moment and wondering if you could help us with a quick loan, I promise I'll refund it once we get home. Please write me so i can send you the info for the wire of the money to save me from the embarrassment of not being able to cover the bills.
Thanks,
Linda.
