Yup...it's a hacker! Just a variation of one. I had that happen last year and they changed my passwords and some folks believed them (but didn't send the cash). Had dozens of calls to make sure we were fine. Only plus side of this was we got to chat with people we hadn't talked to in ages. I was told these hackers have sophisticated ways of getting e-mail addresses. You can have virus detections etc. but it doesn't help. I wish the "infected" folks well as this is really an aggravation more than anything. Was also told hackers were prolific over the holidays...people were shopping online and some of the sites have these hackers somehow "attached". These people have way too much time on their hands.
