Re: my gmail was hacked

Hi All,

I received a message from a master gardener friend that said she was in London, her purse was stolen and she needed to borrow $2,500. Thanks to being alerted by the GWL, I knew immediately it was a scam.

I took my computer right away to a tech guy, who checked it for malware and found nothing bad, thanks to it being a Mac. I'm wondering if this has to do with my website, where I have my email address (which forwards to gmail) but I don't think it's live. I'd like to apologize to everyone who got scammed. Please keep your money in the bank. I'm in NH not London, and we are all well.
