Phony Emails
If anyone on here received an email from me about a month ago that had a link only that led to various Spam sites, I apologize. Someone got into my email and sent them to everyone that I have in my book. I changed my password about 4 weeks ago and have waited to see and no more have gone out. When I send an email with a link in it I will put in the email what the link is about. These just had my name and the link which would then send you to a redirect and you may wind up on a site selling everything from wedding gowns to tractors. Since I have had no more reports of this in the past month, I feel it is safe now.
I have posted this in the Lounge also in hopes that everyone will see it.

Ron: I got one last week from "Gerald Clayton" of "Clayton Racing" Thought it was from Jerry Clayton, so I opened it. It was spam. It would appear We are being targeted.

MOTORHEAD,
Just change your password to your email. That is what I did and it stopped them from sending them out in my name. That is why I waited almost two months to be sure that it was stopped and everyone said they had never received another one that said it was from me. I used to get one a day from another member here that had spam links in it and he changed his password and that stopped his problem also.

I received them from almost every Yahoo address. That should say something right there that Yahoo doesn't run a very tight ship.

Norton 360 Anti Virus Protection | Norton 360 stop that. Since I installed norton (4 years ago) I never had a crash, virus or someone cracked my email. 4 PC's at home and 2 at work.

Yahoo user names and passwords got hacked about a month ago. I think it was about 400,000. A fraction of the total, but still a lot. |

I saw the same issue when we were using one of the tiny ISP's a couple years ago. These are being hacked at the server level. I don't think any virus protection would have stopped them from pulling info from the server. I could be wrong. I switched to gmail and so far haven't seen any issues but it's probably only a matter of time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I just got hit Friday at my Aol account...anti-virus, etc. won't really help because the damn things don't go after your computer...it uses the online service provider's stuff. CW called me early (my time) and I went and changed my password. Then the damn thing went in and changed my password and blocked me out (eveidently had the answer to my security question that I never changed since joining Aol in the 90s!). We went back and forth a couple of times, and then Aol thankfully suspended my emails (they move quickly). I called them...and had Julie from Calcutta change the password and my security question at the same time...that took care of it.
Do not rely on just changing your password...change your security question as well.
My virus used my signature (law firm address, etc.) and even responded when the person receiving it replied..."Yes, this is me. My email is fine." or something similar, again, followed by my signature. It provided a link to a real estate deal (REMax) which asked for the person's password.
They target Aol, Google, Yahoo. CW tracked it down: http://blog.onlymyemail.com/remax-hot-properties-email-phishing-fraud/

I received an e-mail from Jamo's AOL account and deleated it because I had read earlier about it. Funny thing is that I did not know that Jamo had my e-mail linked into his AOL account.
I think that one time I received a response from Jamo's personal account about a SPAM thread here on CC. I think that was the only time that I received an e-mail from his personal account. Could be wrong though.
