This happened to my son. He started getting all sorts of e-mail from his friends and wondered why he hadn't told them he was going on vacation to London. Same thing happended to a good friend of mine. She spent a day and a half getting it straightened out and ended up getting a new e-mail address. IT'S A SCAM AND I'D REPORT IT.

don't open. I agree with everyone else, it is a scam. I got a trojan on my computer last year opening what I thought was a genuine email from an internet store I sometimes use.
