HIS email has been hacked and is being used to scam everyone in his Contact box. Someone mentioned the Viagra/Cialis scam, and it's pretty much the same thing, only it doesn't ask you to wire money. Once I know someone has been hacked like that, I just check it in my mailbox and send it to Junk. That way, the service provider is also notified. Then I write to the person and tell them what happened (but they probably already know, because someone else will also have notified them), so they can close that email account.

Then go into your Contacts list and add at the very top, as the first address, the address [email protected]. That will usually stop hackers from getting into your Contact list... they can't go past that nonsense address.
