Title: Don't open any e-mails you might get from me today
Post by Linda T on Sep 9^th, 2002, 5:17pm

I had a server/e-mail problem come to my attention just a short while ago. Apparently, someone got hold of my password and started sending web advertisments and/or e-mails using my screen name. I have no idea what he/she/they were sending under my name. Just a warning to those who might get something from me - delete it - I did not send it.

For those of you who use AOL: Several days ago I got an e-mail from AOL (I thought) that said I won something. Typically, I just ignore this stuff and delete it. This time I didn't. When I opened the mail it took me to what appeared to be an AOL single's page. I just closed it out. The rep at AOL told me that it is a bogus AOL page and that is how someone got my password. If you get something to that effect, delete it.

I did run my Norton anti-virus and came up clean. I hope that's the end of it.

Sorry if this causes any problems for anyone.

Wishing you all PFDAN always, Linda T

I was afraid to open this post...LOL sorry

Hey Linda that is a real bummer... I cant stand the idea that there are people in the world that want to screw up everyone in the worlds computers... Imagine having that time on your hands and doing evil stuff with it... I spent 6 hours at my friends house trying to get rid of a virus that someone sent her... Her computer is her life... There are so many people that need their computers to live and when they are down they cant realize their lively hoods ... just me venting... but i feel for you glad you caught it and hope you have it in quarantine... or whatever you gotta do to it... ree
