From the real BC:

"yea.. I had clicked onto a Doc U sign.. last week selling some property in SC..   I am alive and well in SC>.  please post for me.. thanks bc"

If you look at the email address it came from you will see that his first name is spelled slightly different in the spam one. But he still had to be hacked for them to have his address book. What a pain to deal with.

I only have one email for BC - the hacked one. That's why I posted about it here. He reads the Forum.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

I got the same email also. I jerked their chain for a few minutes till they figured it out. I email him to pass that along.

Bill Cox,

Your email has been hacked.

I got one message this morning saying you had laryngitis, can't talk and wanted to chat by email. 

First clue was the grammar and punctuation were perfect. Not your style! Second was, we have never spoke together!

Then I got this stuck in my SPAM folder:

Thanks for getting back in touch. Actually, I need to get an 'APPLE GIFT CARD' for my friend who is diagnosed with Stage 3 metastasized breast cancer. It's her birthday today and I can't do this now because I'm currently out of town, the stores around here are out of stock and all my effort purchasing it online proved abortive. I was wondering if you could help me purchase it Online or from any store around you and I'll reimburse you.... Apple Gift Cards are sold in (CVS, Walmart ,7 Eleven, BestBuy ,Target, Post office or any local store around ). Kindly let me know if you can handle this so I can tell you the amount and how to get it to me.
