Email Hijacker Alert to Members

[preraph]

It looks like a member of this board has been hacked by an email hijacker, which is when someone uses someone else's email address to send mail, pretending to be that person. I received it, and it appeared to be from a group member, and it was to "Undisclosed Recipients" so I thought it might be someone on the board, but I looked for the IP and didn't find one registered. The IP is from Nigeria, but the email says this person is stranded in Scotland and needs money. So if you get something like that, just let me know. Since I don't list my email on the board, I now think her email just got hacked (or mine!) Please do let me know if you get something, because it might help me figure out the origin or whose email account may be hacked.

Preraph,
Mod

It is unlikely that you will get anything on this, after getting further information from the person it happened to, who says he sent to her whole address book. But if you do, just know it's a hoax.

From what I am hearing, this is quite a common scam, and one that has been circulating for some time.
