G-MAIL ACCOUNT HACKED
By J. Brock (FINN)
Someone has hacked in to Monsignor McPartland’s G-mail account and sent out an extortionate spam letter to all his contacts and many more people. He has tried to access his own account and whoever hacked into it managed to change the password. He can no longer access or use the account.
As you can see below, he has tried to contact Google Management with no success. I promised him I would try this way because the person who would benefit from this scam needs to be stopped before Monsignor loses his good reputation.
The Royal Falkland Islands Police have been informed.
Google, if your spider is present, this one’s urgent.

Dear Sirs
I have been trying to contact you for the past hour or more without any success.
My account [email protected] has been hijacked by (I suspect a Nigerian National) and I cannot get into it as he has changed my password.
All my contact addresses have been sent a request for money and I am unable to tell them to ignore it.
Please help me as this is a crisis for me of gigantic proportions.
Yours sincerely
