London. Home of Buckingham Palace, double decker buses and an e-mail sent from Covington's Kelly Ronning telling her friends that someone had stole her cash while vacationing in the English capital.
"It was saying, I myself was stranded in London and was mugged and needed money and to please send it," she said.

London has Big Ben, that e-mail we'll call the Big Lie. See, someone had hacked into Kelly's Hotmail account and used her address book in the hope her friends would fish out $2,400 and send the chips to them.

"I wanted to get in there and get access to my account, delete it or whatever I needed to do to get the hacker out," Kelly said, but she couldn't.

It seems the hacker changed all of Kelly's passwords and personal information. The other problem, she just sent an e-mail with her tax return attached to get her kids a college scholarship.
