Email Hijacking Scam - Do not fall into this trap

Some beginner might fall into the trap of responding to an email and fill in al the personal information asked for. DO NOT DO THIS.  The email, as shown below, appears to come from google mail. But it does not. This email comes from sender, lulu290@hotmail.com who after a IP trace back is located in Kansas, USA. The IP is well masked so probably using a remote computer they hacked into. (Click on picture to enlarge if you need to).

If, perchance, you thought this was genuine, immediately change your password. You might be too late because the culprit accesses your email, they can change password and will have high jacked your email to send spam out.
