For what it's worth, that's coming from Marks Yahoo account and Yahoo mail
has had some pretty bad problems with hackers in the last couple of years.

Texas cavers,
I called Mark Gee this morning and alerted him that he had been hacked and
the e-mail below had been received by me. Mark attended our grotto meeting
last night. He is not in Madrid, Spain. He asked me to send this notice out
to his friends.
This happened to Mark a year or two ago and a Dallas/Fort Worth caver, who
is living overseas these days, fell for it and sent $1,800 to the scamming
crook.
Be aware,
Bill

Subj: VACATION PROBLEM....Mark Gee
Good Morning!!
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to
Madrid,Spain for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park
of the hotel where we stayed,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off
us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.
We've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues
at all and our flight leaves in less than few hours from now but we're
having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us
leave until we settle the bills,I'm freaked out at the moment.
Mark.

Obviously written by someone unfamiliar with speleology! :-)
"Considered one of the longest caves in the world ...the caves have been
named after the nearby village and are 40 feet deep and an amazing 4,500
feet in length. "
