Jim, Since you and Rene seem to have gotten the same email, I'd say that Mr. Copeland has a nasty bug on his computer which stole his contact list. I rather doubt his emails are being "detoured," rather the scammer is just using Mr. Copeland's name (it's fairly easy to spoof email headers in that way). So drop Mr. Copeland an email and let him know that he should have his PC checked for viruses.
