To the computer savvy it is nothing to capture someone address book remotely
and send email that looks like it came from them. Heck.....I get Viagra
{scam}ads from MYSELF all the time at work!!!

Hey Darren, It looked suspect. I did reply with concern and offer to
help, but obviously if this isn't Richard we should report this as a

address anyway?
