Sylvia...I just read the scam in my inbox and hurried to let you know. Relieved to find out that you knew of this already. Hope this gets to you. Do you suppose your e-mail has been hijacked? It's the same address as was in the scammer's email? I'm going to post this on your site too, just in case. If he has hijacked your acctount, we should all send him a nasty piece of our collective minds!

I'm relieved to hear you're "not in Africa!" It's amazing that someone can/will do something like that! I hope working your way around the problems this person causes for you doesn't last for long! Take care.

Oh my gosh Sylvia, when I saw the Africa headline I thought you'd come to visit us! Never mind, rather come in person than through a hijacked email site. Glad it's all fixed up now.

Hi Sylvia,
I have just received this email from you. How horrible to have your email stolen and used like this. I immediately knew by the poor English that it was a Nigerian scam. Thanks for the new email! Have been away from blogging due to family issues.
Love Dianne x x

I am glad to find that you are safe and home. After I recieved that mail I wanted to checkout your blog and find because I am recieving many scam mails. I am glad I did it first thing before doing anything.

Oh my god, is that the latest scam going around? Hadn't heard that one before. Yikes.

Thanks Susan, Vicki, Liz, Dianne indiaartist and Jala for your support... it was not fun to realize someone could take your email... but it was amazing how fast Windows Live got my email back to me...!!
