"UK Justice Secretary Jack Straw has been the victim of Nigerian fraudsters who 
sent out hundreds of e-mails in his name asking for money.
The e-mails claimed he had lost his wallet on charity work in Africa and needed 
3,500 US dollars to get home.
Messages headed the Right Hon Jack Straw MP were sent to council bosses, 
government chiefs and others.
The fraudsters are thought to have hacked into computers at Mr Straw's 
Blackburn constituency office."
