Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I want to apologize to anyone who received SPAM from my email address. Apparently, I have been hacked into. My entire " sent " file was resent. I guess that was just practice for them. It seems that now they are sending SPAM in my name. I have changed my password to a really complex one. If that doesn't work, I will stop using and use my internet provider exclusively. Norine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Norine and all, It's more likely something called spoofing, where they harvest your email address from somewhere and send spam in your name, making it look like you sent it. It doesn't pose a threat to the individual, but it's annoying and can be embarrassing. On the other hand, it may be a hack. If there are messages in your Out/Sent box that you didn't send, it's a hack. Here's some info from Google help forum on how to address issues on your computer: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=1ed9a7a852c55f31 & hl=en hope this helps, -- At 12:48 PM 6/23/2010, norinedonnelly wrote: >I want to apologize to anyone who received SPAM from my email >address.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks for the heads up. That happened on Morgellons Sanctum too under the same name. We do need to be careful. How did it go yesterday? Hacked Hi allAbout a week ago Dalita got hacked when an add appeared on the board by her but was not her. I also received an add by her in my e-mail. Now My user name was hacked by same person. I had to delete two adds from this site that were not by me and I am getting reports that e-mails for music down loads were sent out to groups and my e-mails list. I did not send anyone any down loads. Please do not open those e-mails and virus scan your computers. I had to change my pass words to all my accounts including my bank. Please watch out becuase I do not know how deep this ones runs. Thank youIn Light Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi Lynn -- I deleted all the email addresses from my email address book a couple of years ago so that my account cannot turn into a spam zombie and send out spam thingies. myrtle > > Hi all > > About a week ago Dalita got hacked when an add appeared on the board by her but was not her.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi Rose, it would be really neat to meet you if you are still there. Is your daughter still driving you? I'll be by myself. I have mid-length reddish hair... glasses, not thin -- but a happy heart. I'll probably get there early too, just in case traffic is bad from Contra Costa County. That time of day should be okay. Whoo-hoo! I was sure sorry to hear about Marguerite's problem with the car. Dang! That's bad! But happy she and Lynn got the testing over and done with. Hugs to all.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I keep a copy of one email from each of my contacts, and pull up the addresses that way. I also have a paper list of email addresses. myrtle > > > > > > Hi all > > > > > > About a week ago Dalita got hacked when an add appeared on the board by her but was not her.
