Hackers, you gotta love them...

Yesterday, we got a call from my aunt asking us if we were sending prank emails. Of course, we said no. Then she began to tell us that Judy called her saying that she got an email from us asking for money. I told her it was just some span email and to forget about it. Then last night, I tried to sign into our email, but it wouldn't let me. It gave me some error and said out account was froze for 24 hours. So we had to wait. Then, about 6:00 this morning, it finally let us in. And thanks to some hacker, all of our contacts got this:

" Hi, I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my fam and I came down here to Wales,United Kingdom for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.We've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in less than 8hrs from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills,i'm freaked out at the moment. Meg"

Isn't that funny shit! Seriously, why would we be in the UK? And why would people not know that we went to the UK, lol. It's truthfully not funny, but it is too. It had poor Judy all worked up. The bad thing, after Judy emailed back, so did the hacker. And guess how much money they were asking for... $1,580. And that was just for the hotel bill, lol. No telling how much they would've asked for. Luckily, no one sent any money. More of our contacts emailed us back wondering what in the hell that was about, so we told them.

So, after waiting 12+ hours, resetting our password, and reading this piss poor excuse for money, all is back to normal. At least we have a story to tell. Love and peace...
