Trying to work it out - please read!

Dear All,

Just a wee note to assure anyone that has received a fraudulent e-mail about me being mugged on holiday it's untrue. Sorry for any inconvenience, upset this has caused you.

I will be offline for a while while this gets sorted - just accessing through my brothers computer at the moment.
My big pain is that the virus has deleted my address book and until its sorted I don't want to e-mail anyone really incase this causes yet another problem. So please bear with me - Crafty Creations girls I may need some help as I am supposed to be setting the challenge post this week and doubt it will be sorted in time. I am happy to continue sponsoring and have a Stamp Doodles rubber stamp as a prize...help!

I will add another post here once its all sorted and I have a new e-mail address.

Cheers Claire x

    Hi Claire, I just got this and was about to give you a ring as when I thought about it after the initial shock/horror I realised it was probably a scam.
    So sorry you've been hacked and hope you manage to get it sorted out.
    Sending hugs, Fliss xx

    I was just coming to let you know that it seems your email has been hacked but you already know about it. Damn them for trying it on, but Google mail warned me that it was probably a hacker. Hope you get your account back soon :)

    Just got this too but realised as you'd been to Somerset recently you were unlikely to be in Spain and it was probably a scam so deleted it immediately. You have to be so careful don't you.
    Hope everyone is well and you have not got too much rain in your part of the world.
    Hugs Lisax

    I was wondering when Somerset had moved to Spain!

    Am most relieved that you are all well.

    Hope you get to the bottom of this scam, it just goes to show doesnt it. Still, no harm done :)

    Keep well!

    Hi Claire - I was just about to phone you as I also received this email message this morning. I knew immediately that it was a scam as a friend of ours was targeted in exactly the same way a few months ago, and her cousin fell for it, and sent £200.
    Hope you had a good holiday in Somerset.
    Hugs, Sylvia xx

    Ufff, Claire, I'm happy that's only a scam and 'your' mail is untrue. I'm happy that you you're well!

    Hi Claire

    What a drag, I am booting you off the yahoo group for now. Don't want this hacker in there. We will add you back as soon as you get a new email.

    Hi Claire,

    I've had 2 of these emails too, but didn't see them until after I'd read your blog post saying it wasn't true.

    So glad it's not true though, and glad that you're ok!

    Hope you get this sorted out soon, what a pain for you!

    Love, Rose xx

    Hi Clare

    I was fairly certain it was a scam but sent you a separate email just to check. Got one from Reuben as well by the way.

    Glad to know you are safe and well.
