Hi,
I'm sorry to bother you with this. I'm currently in Ukraine due
to some urgent matters to help my ill cousin, she was diagnosed with a
uterine fibroid and she needs Hysterectomy Surgery operation to save
her life. The news of her illness arrived to me as an emergency that
she needs family supports to keep her alive.
The hospital management is demanding for a deposit of 2500
before they can carry out the surgery operation to save her life. I
need a loan from you and I'll surely pay back as soon as I get back
home, If you can not raise all the money I'll appreciate whatever
amount you can come up with.

Hoping your reply,
With Regards,

No member can access anyone's email via forum so must have got the link elsewhere or got email address from other source.

Hang fire.

Is there not an extra i in this mail address?

If not, no hacking going on, just a spoof.

Same would go for marcelo.pisani@live.com or marrcello.pisani@live.com etc etc.

Spoof or hack, there's a difference even though the intention is to scam, however badly executed.
