Hello
Sorry to be sending this myself but it is urgent.
Recv'd a very odd email, asking for money, looked like a scam and it was. Nick Hurbud (hope I got that correct) has informed me that along with his other problems his email account has been hacked. The email came as "absbetty@gmail.com".
Watch out, and try to confirm any odd looking email.
I sent this because I do not know what email address I can use, or even if he is well enough to deal with it.

David,
I got it as well. I blocked the sender and e-mailed Phil to warn him. I also apologized for troubling him when he'd been unwell.
I had another e-mail in response to this (from another account) assuring me that it was really Phil and, to show that the hackers had actually read my reply, adding that "the operation" had gone well. I have blocked that sender too.

Thanks Denis, they are usually spottable, but not always easily. Google is hopeless for security.
