I got one of these from a neighbor in the building... someone who I
don't normally email with and someone who does regularly travel out of
country, so... I very much suspected it was a scam but "responded" and
carried on a conversation with whoever had hijacked her account... I'm
not sure how she finally resolved it... I think by completely deleting
that particular account (which was also a yahoo account I believe...)...

If you do change your password on the account, try to do it from a
different computer because the one you normally use might have a
password sniffer or trojan...

Good luck...
