[Denise Blood]

Thanks. I actually got 3 separate emails from Meg Wente with different email addresses. Sent them all to spam!

I got an email this morning, apparently from Meg Wente at handmwente67 at msn.com, which asked me for a "favor." When I replied, the "favor" was to buy some Amazon gift cards "for her niece". This is clearly a scam, and upon closer examination, I saw that the "reply to" email was handmwente67 at hotmail.com -- not the same account at all.
Meg has said that Microsoft (msn.com) notified her of the breach, that it's from Nigeria, and she and the La Vida Llena staff are working to clear up the problem. Meanwhile, beware of any messages purporting to come from "Meg."

Don't buy any Amazon gift cards" for this person ... clearly, some kind of "Nigerian prince"!
