This is the kind of scam the police are always warning you about.  It arrived at [email protected] this morning , and appeared to be from a local person, complete with her full name and a credible email address (her name @ rogers.com).  Quite likely that was the address that had been hacked, and all her contacts received the same email.  The "reply-to" address was the same name, but @ hotmail.com.

We opened it before we trashed it - are we now hacked? Let us know if you hear we are in Turkey, because we're not. Just changed our email password.
