Just got this e-mail from [email protected]

Just writing to let you know our trip to London,England has been a mess. We were having a great time until last night when we got mugged and lost all our cash,credit card cell phone.It has been a scary experience, I was hit at the back of my neck with a pistol.

Anyway,I'm still alive and that's what's important.I'm financially strapped right now and need your help.As we speak i need $1,850 to add up and sort my bills,don't worry i will def refund it as soon as we get home,the fastest and safest means you can get money to me is via western union,Here's my info:

London, NW3 5EN

This is not something she would write.  It probably went out to her entire hobby mailing list.  This is not the first time she has been hacked.

Katie if you read this, change your password.

I'm wondering if this is something that I need be concerned about?   Should change my email address?  Any thoughts?   Thanks:)

See the problem when something is free there is only so much will be done. You know that whole adage "you get what you pay for". Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc offer free and user friendly emails but be aware of the privacy risk.

I'm knocking on wood here but so far I've had good luck with Hushmail. Yeah, like Camille said, certain cell phones have issues when it comes to accessing your mail but I'd rather be a tad inconvenienced than be completely vulnerable.

Hopefully I won't be eating my words later! ;-)

Good luck!

Ana
