FYI i saw this on the tripadvisor forum and thought it would be a good idea to make others aware of this.

it appears that hackers get into the address book of persons who have rented (via VRBO?--other sites?) or plan on renting from them and ask for money-I am sure most people wouldn't send money without checking things out but if you have a prior relationship with someone, you might not be so careful. in anyevent, it appears to hit Yahoo users most (according to one of the posters )
