Thank you for sharing us your experience. The IP Address is African and probably Nigerian. I strongly recommend you to report this to abuse@hotmail.com so that they could close your account to prevent the Nigerian spammer to contact your friends.

I am sure you already have but if not, if you have another address book that contains your contacts on your Hotmail and Facebook account that were hacked, it would be really great if you could notify all of them about this and tell them to disregard the mails and that everything is not true for your accounts were hacked and if they could possibly give their time of day, to mark or report them as spam or as a hacker.

On Facebook, it would need more than one person to report a Facebook account to be hacked and for them to take action.
I hope this helps you Phil and I hope everything works out.

Sincerely,
Webmaster

I definitely feel for what happened to you. On a side note, it is quite interesting how your name is similar with another Pamela Stewart who wrote to me about a fraud issue a guy did to her from a dating website just like you actually.

To go back on topic though, I am terribly sorry to say that there is almost no way to find this guy and make him pay for the money. Law on the internet are not that binding just yet and we just have to deal with it for now.

I suppose it is already a dumb advice for I am sure you have cursed dating websites already but I will say it anyway to not trust online relationships especially when it has already come to an extent wherein money is already involved no matter how smooth he is or however enticing his picture or his face is, just don’t trust it.
Sincerely,

Hello Friend, I hope my e-mail meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My names are Sgt Garcia Simpson of the Engineering Unit of US Military here in Ba’qubah in Iraq; we have about $10 Million that we want to move out of the country. This money was found in boxes some time ago during our routine raid around the base. My partner and I need a good partner out there, someone we can trust to receive the funds on our behalf. It is oil money and legal. The most important thing is; “Can We Trust you”? Once the funds get to you, simply take out 20% as your share and keep the remaining 80% for us. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to, ours is sending it to you safely.

Also you can view this Link for proper verification http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm If you are interested I will furnish you with more details upon receipt of your response and contact details. But I can assure you the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times. I look forward to your reply and co-operation.

We have kept this money for so long but right now President Obama said he is pulling us out from Iraq so I must have this cash out immediately.

Regards,

Sgt Garcia Simpson.
