Folks,
One of the latest internet scams is to hijack someone's email and send out begging lettrers.
Example
Hi,
Just writing to let you know our trip to London,United Kingdom with my family has been a mess. We were having a great time until last night when we got mugged and lost all my cash,credit card cellphone It has been a scary experience, I was hit at the back of my neck with a club. Anyway, It was a brutal experience but thank GOD we still have our lives and passport saved. I'm financially strapped right now and need your help. I need you to loan me some money, I'll refund it to you as soon as i arrive home.Write me back so i can tell you how to get it to me.
Many Thanks
Picture this happening in the days of L&C, early 1990s. Now how would [insert character] react to receiving such an email message at their desk at the Daily Planet.
And there have been cases where people received such a message from
themselves.
