An e-mail circulating the past few days says former Toledo City Councilman Frank Szollosi is in need of $1,550 after losing his wallet in a taxi cab en route to a hotel in London, England. The strange thing is, he never left the United States, let alone the Midwest. "It was embarrassing because I even got an e-mail from an old calculus professor saying, 'Hey I think your email got spam," Szollosi said. Hacked is more like it. The subject of the e-mail is called "My Plight." The e-mail was sent recently through his personal e-mail account, which also had some of his personal information, like his cell phone number, and his home address attached to it. Szollosi, who now works for the National Wildlife Federation in Ann Arbor, Mich., said he's received several text messages, and phone calls from people wondering if the e-mail was for real or a hoax.  « Less
