I have had this before from others. It is 100 percent scam.

It's unlikely that KJP's e-mail was hacked.  Far more likely that her

e-mail address was spoofed.  There are hacker / black hat toolkits

that will let you create an e-mail with any arbitrary header you want,

you can pretend the e--mail is from anyone and you can set a fake

reply to address.  When money is involved never assume any e-mail is

from whom it claims (unless you have encrypted and / or public

signature signed e-mails)....
