Spam via hacked Hotmail A/C

My grandson in England just sent me this email -- it surprised my because the style is not his and he is an area manager for a computer sales organization and it had nothing in the To: box so presumably there's a hidden list in BCC.

 


hey
Just a couple of days ago we bought an  Apple MacBook Pro MC024LL/A from www.xmas-carnival.com It is indeed a fantastic machine, though it will take some time to get used to the new system.  Wireles mouse and keyboard. Nice design.
and I love it. I paid $1260US all charges included   the chose to use the Core 2 Duo but that's not all bad. This is a stable, cool running, capable processor.   I use this mostly for work where stability, battery life, portability, and longevity are the most important things to me. I rarely play games. I especially like the backlit keyboard.   if you want to get one.you can check it out .
Regards,

I deleted the link to the website that claims to be a Chinese sales and manufacturing organisation   See:
 
where it would seem that Hotmail accounts have been attacked.
 
I thought it wasn’t like him .... <g>
