Nicolas Cage has claimed that his e-mail id has been hacked by someone and is being used to send vulgar emails and sexual graphic messages to his friends.

In a statement released to TV show Celebrity Justice, Cage's spokesperson revealed that a hacker with inappropriate intentions used the actor's e-mail address called 'ncsaturn.7@aol.com'.

"Nicolas Cage would like to make the general public aware that somebody has illegally and fraudulently been using the following email address pretending to be Nicolas Cage," E!Online quoted the statement.
