  This exact same thing happened to a colleague of mine.  She had a huge 
E-mail list that she had developed over the years as part of her business of 
financial consulting.  Someone hijacked her E-mail list, changed her 
password so she could not get into it, and sent a letter to everyon on her 
E-mail list asking for help. It was a mess.  Because she could not get into 
her own E-mail account she could not send a Warning that it was a scam.

  Some of her contacts wanted to help but contacted her by phone first. 
Others contacted whoever was sending the E-mail and was told where to send 
the money, etc.

  I knew that my colleague was not in a foreign country because I had been 
with her the day before, but some of our mutual friends tried to contact her 
and failed so they phoned me to see what kind of trouble she was in and how 
they could help.

  Bottom line is that it was a scam for sure, but it worked on some people 
who were simply eager to help an old friend that they really believed was in 
distress in a foreign place.

  Everyone,

  I've received this email before from someone else and it is a scam. 
That's why I'm sending the reply to both the APG public and private lists. 
This is NOT from Kelly Summers.  Do not try to help!
