doug..call or email me when you get a chance. you have a problem with your gmail account.

Did someone hack into your e-mail account? Got a weird e-mail this morning that you’re stuck in London.

To everyone,

Be alert!!!! I think Doug’s gmail account has been hacked. Received an email this morning claiming he just got robbed in London and needed money to settle hotel bills ASAP. Below is the email in question. I think the email is bogus. Doug please confirm. Thanks.

Douglas…something has happened to your gmail account, I think. Spammed everyone in your contacts. DO SOMETHINGGGG.

Hey Doug! Just wanted to let you know that I received a strange email supposedly from you. It stated that you were still in London and were mugged. It also requested financial assistance. It seems like your gmail account was either hacked or you forgot to logoff somewhere during your travels. I hope things are going well and you can get this straightened out. Take care sir!

If anyone reading this has a means of contacting Doug directly please contact him and let him know about this. Thanks!

Doug….here is what the email says…..(I was thinking this must be bullshit since you usually sign your name Dug)

Hi Douglas, we too receieved the email from you telling us you had been mugged at gunpoint in London and asking for money. Probably as result of emailing from an internet cafe. Hope you recieved our last email to that address a week or so ago with new updates and photo. You need to get your email address changed ASAP and let us have yur new one. Take lots of care, Jane

They wanted $1600 from me. Same message.

This is a definte scam. Doug is not in the UK.

I received the same email this morning. I called Doug’s parents and they were aware of this bogus email. The email is so full of errors and so unlike how Doug would do things that I immediately knew it was not from Doug. I posted a warning message here but it is no longer there. I hope the hacker didn’t hack this website as well.

The dead giveaway that you did not send the email was the claim that you stayed in a hotel in London.

I think I may reply to the hacker and tell him that I will be in London within the next 24 hours for an Interpol conferrence so wait for me by the computer since I have traced its IP address.
