My fiance' just woke me up with great concern. After a phone call from Kelly 
Beatty checking in on my due to the recent scam email.

It was apparent to me as soon as I hear about what was happening that someone 
had hacked into my yahoo account and sent out that scam email about me being in 
the UK and being mugged.

I can assure you I am at home in Tucson, safe and comfortable. I have reset my 
password on Yahoo Mail and and sipping my coffee.

Thanks to Kelly for calling here to give us a heads up so we could respond more 
quickly and to Darren Garrison for the warning not to respond on the Metlist.

So far it seems the only damage done so far is to spam the list, cause some 
concern and delete all the messages in my damoclid inbox...

Sorry for any concerns and worries this may have caused.
