Hello,
That is good to hear.... glad you were not mugged and all is alright. The email is fairly self-evident that it was a hack job, but one really never knows for sure until all the facts are in. It is good that you clarified the story because I was about to wire you 10k for emergency.
Best Wishes
Michael
