[aklug] high-jacked email accounts

Anybody have any experience as to who and how to get a hold of someone @
yahoo concerning a high-jacked email account.

A friend of mine just had it happen. Someone seems to have gained
control of her yahoo account and is using it to send out emails telling
everyone in her address book that she is stranded in Brighton England
due to a mugging and needs $2000 desperately to settle her hotel bill
and get to the airport.

She now can't get into her account. Hopefully it's because yahoo got
wind of it and locked it. I think it's more likely the thieves just
changed the access.
