Hacked Into

My old hotmail email account was hacked into yesterday and all my contacts were sent this
crazy email. I had about 10 people call me starting at 7:30 a.m. to ask if I was alright. One
friend who was really concerned wrote back to them and wondered how she could help. They
wrote back and wanted her to send them $1,500 and they signed it "Lisa". Michael said that
he heard about this bogus email on MSN news. I'm so sorry everyone who got this email. Please
block my hotmail account on your emails. I am with gmail now. I love gmail. Hope it doesn't get hacked into.

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.

Nancy
