Hacked fake news promoting work-at-home scam!

Wow! Hacked fake news promoting a work-at-home scam! How many levels of scam is that?

I got an e-mail from a friend with a link to a news item about a woman who supposedly makes $15,000/week in a work-at-home scheme. Classic scam. When I googled it, found it was "fake news". I e-mailed the info to my friend, and found out someone had hacked her e-mail, and she had not sent it!
