Hi, This is Senator Richard Colburn

I really don't mean to inconvenience you right now but I made a quick trip to the UK and I lost a bag which contains my passport and credit cards. I know this may sound odd, but it all happened very fast. I've been to the US embassy and they're willing to help me fly without my passport but I just have to pay for my ticket and settle some bills. Right now I'm out of cash plus i can't access my bank without my credit card over here. I have contacted them but they need more verification. I'm just gonna have to plead with you to lend me some funds right now? I'll pay back as soon as I get home. I need to get on the next available flight home.

Please reply as soon as you get this message so I can forward the details as to where to send the funds. You can reach me via the hotel's desk phone if you can, the numbers are,  +447045749898 or you can also email me via my email.
I await your response...

Thanks
Senator

Someone hacked AKaye Kenneys account too. Emails saying she has been kidnapped.

They must have hacked Jim Ireton too as that letter Joe posted has some serious grammer errors, for a teacher/mayor.

I have ALWAYS thought that Rich was flying without a passport . . .

My mother's account was hacked with the SAME message sent to ALL her contacts. Got into her facebook and yahoo. ALL of her contacts got deleted too. She changed her passwords, BUT, when she would send out an email, if you hit "reply" to email her back, the email was redirected to the spammer's account! We knew it was the spammer's because it was only one letter off from being my mother's email address. She now has a new email carrier (hotmail).
Watch for this! It really sucks that an amazing, technological genius can spend all this time and energy stealing from people, when instead could be making tons of money using his brains for legal jobs!!
