This is a warning! A hacker MAY have acquired the contacts for LIST MEMBER JEAN OLD. I received a suspicious email, supposedly from Jean, asking for money. I had another friend who had this happen with her contacts and I received a similar email request. This is the subject: Terrible Situation - Urgent Help Needed !!!! This is the letter: I'm writing this with tears in my eye, my family and I came down here to Malaga, Spain for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed, all cash, credit card and cell were stolen off us at GUN POINT but luckily for us we still have our passports with us. We've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves today but we're having problems settling the hotel bills, 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 save me from the embarrassment of not being able to cover the bills. Thanks -- Jean NAMES I AM SEARCHING MCSHANE WELSH VANCE LYNCH ONEIL CHRISTIE RAFFERTY,MCCONNELL TACKNEY BROGAN MCHALE THORNTON COYLE MULHEARN MCGURK AND HALF OF SCOTLAND LOL DO NOT use her email address to try & contact her or you could be hacked too!
