Indeed.
Looking at the message source, it is mightily odd with a very complex
(but apparently) harmless html part.
A very clever hack by someone who hacks into accounts, and reads past
emails for relevant details, like being on holiday and where.
If I lost my money the last thing I would do is blanket email my
friends. The banks and consulate would help.
AOL was also hit by an account hacker and I helped one victim last week,
ironically, to move to BTinternet.
The moral here is secure passwords, and change regularly.
Secure ones are like Ge4?pP9a .
