Don't respond to any email that you receive from American internist Dr. Drew Pinsky, as he has fallen victim to an invasive email hack.

The 57-year-old internist pals were approached by email asking for "urgent help" after Drew misplaced a bag containing all his vital items in Cyprus, TMZ.com reports.

The fake email also mentioned his wife, Susan, by name which made it look real.

As soon as the 57-year-old internist caught the wind of his hacked account, he went to his syndicated radio show to inform people about the fake email.

Luckily, one of the executives from Google came forward to help him to reset his Gmail account.
