We are writing to let you know we have fallen for a yahoo look alike email to upgrade. We clicked on it, put our email address and password in and wham..they had everything they needed to delete our contacts, inbox and folders with all our details! Somehow they also got into our hotmail account as well.

They also wrote to all our contacts saying we are in Manila and in trouble and need money. This is a scam. We are in Mexico, not in trouble and do not need any money...

We have no other way to contact our friends to tell them not to worry..please tell anyone we know in case they also got the email and are worrying about us!

We will not be using the yahoo or hotmail accounts any more. We now have a gmail account with the same beginning as our old accounts.

We hope nobody else ever falls for this trick...believe us...its a real pain!
