[chottala.com] Please do not respond to the appeal of a hacker who hijacked my e-mail address

Hi,

Last Sunday you might have received the following e-mail. This is a SCAM. A cyberspace hijacker hacked into this e-mail address of mine and took it over. I lost the access. After getting in to this e-mail address, the hijacker sent the following e-mail to the persons in my contact list in this e-mail address. Everybody received the same e-mail as furnished below:

Please do not respond to this e-mail, if you did not do it before. I just recovered my e-mail address an hour ago. The first thing I am doing is informing you all (in my e-mail CONTACT List) that it was sent by a wrong person (a hacker/hijacker of this e-mail address) and not me. He used my name and my e-mail address. I just wonder how he broke my password!

My earnest request to you all that the "Urgent Help Appeal" as depicted in the following e-mail, was SCAM and so please do not send any money to London, England, through Western Union. I have not gone to London. I am not traveling to Europe with any programs. I did not loose my wallet. I do not want any money from anybody. I am perfectly alright and solvent. Please do not help a hijacker/hacker by sending any money.

Thanks and have a great day.

Very Respectfully,
Kajimel Raisuddin
(The real owner of this e-mail address)

Note: The hacker used my name below in the scam e-mail. He is using my name but I am not that person.
