Please don't send emails to me at my registered email address. It has been compromised and is being blocked by msn until they can give me a new password and find out who hacked my computer. The hacked computer allowed someone from Malaysia to get all my contacts and emails were sent to all on the contact list stating I was stranded in Malaysia and asking for $2,700. The email gives instructions on how to send the money. Don't send any money to Malaysia. This is a scam.

Bill,

I sent a check, but I sent it to your home address. My wife made it out for $4,700 by mistake. Go ahead an deposit it, and keep $1000 for yourself and your troubles. (It's nothing to me - really. Merry Christmas!) Then, send me a cashier's check for the balance.

If you learn how they got you, I'd be curious to hear since we see so many of these cases (and way too many people who fall for them).

That sounds like a big pain in the backside. I hope you work it out with ease.

This just happened to another examiner in my area as well. Why not make the best of it and change this into a profitable chain letter??

Bill and Barry should each send me $2,700.00. I will then go out and find three people to send each of you $2,700.00. You will triple your money but you are going to have to trust me on this one.

Ted,

I thought using my name in your e-mail was hilarious!

My probation officer; not so much....
