Somebody hijacked Lingo2Lingo and said he/she needed money. The same thing about being in Spain, blah blah, blah... I just deleted it without reading. No time for rubbish.

However, I should warn the real 'Lingo2Lingo' people about this. It's very annoying that this should occur.

Regards,

Trinh Do

the same with me Sep 26, 2012

Today I received the same email... three times in a row. The email was allegedly sent by Deborah Marton, all the data under signature were true, except for telephone and fax number.

I know Deborah Marton Sep 26, 2012

She's a good friend, and I'm sure some bastard hijacked her e-mail. This happened to me before. I hope she has an engineering relative to help her out in this mess. This is extremely bad news.

Comrades, to the fight and beat up the bastard(s).
