During the last 24 hours my email account was hacked and a very large number of people have been sent an email to the effect that I am in Manilla and desperately need money.
This is spam. I am not in Manilla, I have not been mugged, I am in Australia and hope to be in Indonesia in a couple of days time. Any Forum members who have been subjected to this scam have my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. |

Came here to send a message that you may have been hacked but I see that you caught it already. Cool. We should all be appreciative of yet another service our forum provides us!

Hi Alan,
received the spam message, and, since I once in Bruxelles suffered the same adventure depicted in that mail, I believed the story was true and offered my help. Of course that message has been sent to all addresses present in your mailing list. It would be advisable you send another message to all your contacts warning them of the trick. Last but not least, I am happy that you and your family are safe at home. Giovanni |

Thank you very much for the warning. I just get a call of a friend collector who get as well this mail but who isn't active at the forum but want to ask me if I know more and want to help "you" by sending money by WU.
I wish you a good journey to Indonesia, selamat jalan! Detlef |
