My email has been Hijacked

[wringingwet]

Fellow Club Members. it seems my email from my aol account has been hijacked. I am not sure what to do but If you received an email from me for Viagra please delete. I am usually very cautious about opening email and having filter on high mode. So I hope this is not happening to others here

Thanks

Philippe

1- Make sure that you keep enough Viagara for yourself! And that you declare the income you make form selling life's little blue pills. (Much appreciated by dirty old men enverywhere!) LOL

2- Reset your password on AOl. I got hijacked years ago.

The thing about computers is, if you can get OUT anyone can get IN!

They really have no need for your password, or anything else. They simply "farmed" for email addresses to make their info look real. Any links in the email will go directly to them. It's happened to me a number of times over the years and while it's annoying after a month or so it will go away.

Besides who gets spam email anymore, I haven't for years. Gmail has a great filter and my locals isp does too. It's extremely rare to get any crap in my mail anymore.[this post was last edited: 4/29/2010-16:09]

As MattL says, anyone can fake the sender of an e-mail. Someone receiving an e-mail ad for Viagra with your name or e-mail address as the sender doesn't necessarily mean your AOL account has been hacked.

Sun Block

A gentleman fell asleep while sunning. He awakened to 2nd degree burns on his legs. He went to urgent care hoping to get something for the pain. After examining him the doctor wrote a prescription for Viagra. The gentleman was livid and demanded to know what Viagra was going to do for sunburn. "Nothing, " replied the doctor, "but it will keep the sheets off your legs at night."
