My apologies to anyone who may have gotten any weird email associated with me.  I hope I have the problem resolved.

Mike, nothing from you, but one from a Fireball member.  By mistake i opened the mail and it was an ad for working from home.

I got one yesterday morning from John Paris' AOL e-mail address with "vita.amadeo" in the subject box. I also mistakenly opened it and it was spam.
I sent John an email message about it and suggested he change his AOL password (what I had to do twice in the last year when my yahoo e-mail account had been compromised). I also requested that he send me an email confirming he got my message. I have not yet heard from him.

My work from home email came from the wife's personal email. She did not send it.
Her personal Email received it from her work email(XXX.LaMason.com) that she did not send.

I have suggested they look at this close as it indicates to me a major hack of their system to gain access
to that kind of info and control. ???

I some how got my e-mail contact list hijacked and every time that I sent an e-mail it created another batch of bogus forewarded spam. I had to open a new e-mail account with a new password. Hopefully that will end the problem. Sorry Joe it was probably me.

I received the email about which Mike posted. No harm done. They usually are spam, but some are virus carrying links. The lack of any, or a sensible, subject line is the tipoff. I usually send an email about the receipt of such, but did not in this case.  :-\  Steve
