I have a friend that this happened to....exactly the same letter....the only way to contact her after I got this e mail was by phone. She no longer had any control over her e mail account.

Hope you get this Jerry. Jerry, Someone has stolen your email and has used it for "phishing". Better talk with Bellsouth. I have gotten three of these from you just this morning. --------------- Here is the email I just received: "Hey! I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,We came down here to London,England for a short vacation and We were mugged at gun point last night at the park of the hotel where we lodged all cash,credit cards and cell were stolen off us. We've been to the US embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all,Our flight leaves in less than 24hrs from now and we are having problems settling the hotel bills. The hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the hotel bills now we freaked out. We need your help. Regards." --------------- You'll need that complete Headers ...

Oh Dear.... I don't have his phone number. Maybe someone "down there" with a current phone directory can give him a call for us. [I'm assuming he lives in NOLA... but he may not] Thanks Cheryl R CherylDSM@aol.com wrote: > I have a friend that this happened to....exactly the same letter....the > only way to contact her after I got this e mail was by phone.
