Justice Secretary Jack Straw has been the victim of Nigerian fraudsters who sent out hundreds of e-mails in his name asking for money.
The e-mails claimed he had lost his wallet on charity work in Africa and needed 3,500 US dollars to get home.
Messages headed the Right Hon Jack Straw MP were sent to council bosses, government chiefs and others.
The fraudsters are thought to have hacked into computers at Mr Straw's Blackburn constituency office.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw has vetoed the publication of minutes of key Cabinet meetings held in the run-up to the Iraq war in 2003.
He said he would use a clause in the Freedom of Information Act to block the release of details of meetings in which the war's legality was discussed.
Releasing the papers would do "serious damage" to Cabinet government, he said, and outweighed public interest needs.
The Information Tribunal ruled last month that they should be published.
