My Gmail and Google accounts were Hijacked and compromised

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8a)

I am pulling my hair out and just freaking out over this. The worst part is that Gmail doesn't have a phone support number and the only help line is a forum. If I could afford better I wouldn't be there but all my blogs are denying me access as the hijackers changed my password so I can't even get into my blogs except to comment. I have left a comment in both of them and hope that any future followers will see it.
If anyone out here has a suggestion I would greatly appreciate it.
I am just a neurotic mess and for me that is highly unusual. I am a very even tempered mild manner person as anyone that knows me can verify. I have definitely learned a lesson from all this.
This is a copy of the letter that they are sending to everyone in my address book
So please, if you get this letter, its not from me. I am safe at home.

I am Sorry for not telling you about my unannounced trip to the UK. I
am stranded in London at the moment and I wish you could lend me USD
$2000 to take care of some bills. I will repay you as soon as I return
back home in few days time. I misplaced my cell phone and other
valuable items during an incident that occurred at train station early
this morning.

Due to the urgent need, please send the loan to me via Western Union
Money Transfer in my name.

Name: Jan MacKay
Address: 27 Old Gloucester Street, WC1N 3AX. London, United Kingdom

After money transfer, attach the western union transfer receipt or
email me the payment details to enable me claim the sum from western
union office here.


I will be waiting for the money transfer informations.

Thanks for your understanding.
Warmest Regards,
Jan MacKay
