Thanks so much for your response and concern.Yes 1500 pounds will be alright and i want you to know that i am going to refund you immediately i am back home.I will prefer if you can send the money via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER because it is faster and easier,you can send the money at any nearest western union location. Below are the details you are going to need when sending the money:

Receiver's Name....Tom Canning
Location....Malaysia

You should please scan and send me the western union receipt after the money have been sent or send the western union details as it is written on the receipt such as the mtcn,amount sent,exact name used to send the money (if initial used).I will be waiting to read from you.Hope to see you again soon.

Tom.

BEWARE OF JOHN H/ACKER

I too received the bogus email. I emailed the British embassy in Malaysia, and never received any reply.

Your email account probably has a new password and secret answer by now. You probably have to talk to your email provider by phone (or face to face) to get your email address back and to lock the scammer out.

Thanks Jim............i dont have any high hopes of ever getting it back but thanks anyway.

Nearly everyone has lost an email address and account, now and then, for a variety of reasons. And I have lost a decade of email in one crash. I guess it's not the end of the world.
