Don't post the aenders name please. He might have had his email high jacked.

Hello,
How are you doing ? hope all is well with you, I'm sorry that i didn't inform you about my traveling to England for a Seminar.
I need a favor from you as soon as you receive this e-mail because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money,and other valuable things were kept, i will like you to assist me with a soft loan urgently. I will be needing the sum of $2,500 to sort-out my hotel bills and get myself back home.
I will appreciate whatever you can afford to help me with, I will pay you back as soon as i return,I'm counting on you on this,Kindly let me know if you can be of help so i can send you my details to use when sending the money through western union.I look forward to read from you later today.
Your reply will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, one of our club growers has had his email hijacked and I got the message as well. Anyone with Hotmail may want to look out. It's my guess that they are hijacked through postings here of email address. DO NOT reposond to anything from me. I could never afford to go to New England yet alone England LOL.

He is a pastor from a small church in North eastern colorado.

I Never thought it could really be him. Too good of guy. It's a shame that some asshole has to take a good person and do somthing like this. Guess we all have to be a little more careful with our email address.

You want to know what really sucks, because of the side job I have installing satellite dishes, I had emails in my inbox that had customers names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers (including exp. date, and security code), plus their s.s. Number. I may get out of this with only a lost email account. But I am worried for these people. I have and am contacting them, but for someone trying to commit identity theft, they hit the motherload by stealing my email account.

Yeah, I haven't found anything in the Bible that says that I can't say "sucks". Don't mean to offend anyone, or start a new topic here. But I do not consider myself greater than everyone else because I am a pastor.

There is a web site,WAYN.COM,that hijacks your e-mail addresses when you sign up.It took a threat of involving the FEDS to get them to take me out of their servers.

It may not have anything to do with this.
They have a check box to opt out of the address book mass mail out.It is a lie.
I had people calling me,asking what was going on.
