There is an update on this scam.
One of my contacts outside this forum sent out a similar message. He was mugged in Greece. Need 1200 euros etc. Send by Western Union, the system to transfer money to black holes.
It gave the Nigerian scammers my e-mail address.
Since then the mailbox provider has notified me several times of attempts to reset my password.
I guess they fed my e-mail addrress to one of their systems and it is now hammering reset passwords to my account.
Please make sure that you have a 'strong' password to your e-mail.
Do not think you only need it to download your mail.
The same user name and password give web access.
