ugh.
I feel ya . got it this morning
what i like about the new gmail system is it red flags it and says warning this hasn't come from the senders real email address
it happened to me last month
damn spammers 
Hi Guys and Gals,
First, I want to thank everyone who has called, emailed and texted me this morning! I really appreciate the community checking up on me!
My email account has been hacked. I am not in London. I have not been mugged and I do not need you to send money.
The scary part is, whomever has hacked my email account has erased/stolen every email I have ever received or sent and they have erased/stolen my address book.
I can't figure out why someone would do this? In the email that was sent out, there was no address to send money to and if someone replied to the email, it came back to me. Where is the benefit for the hacker?
If anyone has tips on how to protect oneself from this happening again, I would love the advice.
Also, so hopefully no one else falls for this, I received an email from yahoo.com this morning telling me that I needed to verify my account or else it would be terminated. When I clicked on the link it redirected me back to the login page where I entered my user name and password. My mistake!
I feel so stupid! I know not to do that! Anyway, in my own defense, I had only one sip of coffee in me, my eyeballs were barely open and my brain was not functioning (obviously).
Have a Merry Christmas everybody!
It looks like I will be starting fresh in 2012! Its funny how these things work out.
xoxo
