It seems to often happen to Hotmail accounts. I don't know if yours IS a Hotmail account. Why should that be?

It's a virus rather than being hacked, if you delete without opening you should be OK, otherwise it will send the same Email to everybody in your contacts list.

They did this to my neighbour and sent all her contacts a message to say she had had to go to Cyprus urgently and had been mugged and had all her cards and money stolen .They asked if we could send her money to get a flight back to Turkey. Even asked for it to paid into a Western Union office. They did not get anything.

My son had exactly the same problem. It did not result in a virus spreading but I did end up receiving 3 emails like this from 'him'. It ended with his email address being closed as a couple of people reported as spam.
