Title: My Email has been hacked
Post by: Gerald Schamp on September 14, 2012, 05:10:38 PM
Hi all, my email has been hacked. My appollogies to all for what ever was sent. I hope I have it taken care of. Some people just have to mess things up for others.  H^^

Gerald, I just got an email from you with a link in it. Seemed a little fishy, so I deleted it. I guess one develops a 6th sense about this stuff!

If somebody knows how to track back and catch these miscreants, please let us in on the secret!  y1 Steve

Gerald,

Yea, some people mess things up for others in this Forum also.

Here's an E-mail suggestion. There are none better. Costs 40.00 pr year but it's worth it.

Reagan.com

You may want to check it out.

Thanks for the tip, Charles. I know Gerald has Comcast (I have it for an ISP, but don't use their email...hated it). I use Yahoo! email, but they (stupidly) keep changing it.  I really hate their newest version, so I might just change to Reagan.com email. Speaking of which, I went a little out of my way during my May trip to Tennessee to take this picture in Cookeville, TN. It's half a block from the County Courthouse, if anybody is wondering.  H^^ Steve

Gerald,

I had three of them show up that obviously wanted to redirect you to a site selling RX.

Being a non-windows guy, I haven't had the problem. But I take precautions.

  Hi Gerald;
   I have been getting them, and got one today, so you may still have a problem. I haven't touched the link that is with it. Good luck with it.

Gee, I don't know about the negative comments. I bought a whole big bunch of Kewl Stuff and am currently awaiting delivery.

Of course I wanted to reciprocate so I used one of Gerald's credit cards to make my purchases.

Many thanks,

Dan

I don't think it is necessary for someone to "hack" your password to use your account name.  Any email you ever sent that was a forwarded message could eventually put your email address (and others in the distribution list) in the hands of some creep.  There is a way that person can send spam or smut emails and they appear to be coming from you, when in fact, they aren't.  The process is called spoofing.
