My email is hacked!

I guess most of my friends or clients already knew what had happened to me today. (For those who called or SMSed, thanks for your concern!) They all received the same email today saying I was trapped in Scotland, in need of cash... the rest of the story is really quite common... bla bla bla... bla bla bla... to cash in money for my urgency use in Scotland. Me in Scotland? Like REAL!

Remember, don't simply give up your password even though the email you received may seems real. For my case, It says that Yahoo is doing an upgrate with their system, in order to keep my email account safe, they required me to reconfirm my password, so that they won't disactivate my email... (Hell... why would I believed that in the first place?)
Anyway, just hope that I won't get fooled again!

So now, bye bye kuanth76@yahoo.com

Say hello to kuanth@gmail.com
p/s: Below are what were sent from my yahoo mail. Hope they have really bad Karma!
