Hi Gloria, yes, it happened to me a few months back. I remember when my

computer was " ill " and went to the shop, they needed my screen name and

password.

This is the only way it could have gotten out. My password was a mixture of

names from my family several generations back. No one could have guessed it.

They used the password to change my addy so they could use it and sent out

some horrific things. I went and changed the password with AOL and it stopped

immediately. Protect your password at all cost is the best message I can give

you all. Hugs, Marilyn
