For those of you who got any emails from me today... please dump them immediately. I didn't send any myself.

It appears my account was nailed by scammers/spammers! I hope it didn't cause you any troubles.

I've been dealing with the mess all day. What a friggin waste!!!

No rope around here. If I had one I'd hang myself!

Man I hate the electronic BS we have to deal with.

Thanks for your support bud.

Cheers, K

KH---I got the "bugabooo"....about 3- weeks ago....and my brother who lives in England....got it last year and said:----just change your yahoo password and it quits sending random emails to everyone.....(it worked for me!)

P.S. --I got a phone call from a company just two days before ;that was telling me that my computer had a virus ...AND ,he was selling the "solution"???...isn't that extortion...and how can someone call you to tell you that you have a comp/virus??

Received the same call two hours ago, Garfly, from David Wilson (in Pakistan!). A year ago I got calls from same outfit. I once played along then had words with the "gentleman". He later called back and just played music. Bad people! Wouldn't you like to greet them face to face? I hate redirect viruses too!

Say hey Gar,
Thanks for the tip. I appreciate that very much. Fortunately I had m-a-n-y good friends help me today. Your suggestion was certainly implemented immediately.

As for the phone call you got -- they are scum.

Cheers, Ken

Weekly, I average getting 2+ hacked emails using the email address of friends, people we know and people in business.

Everyone involved/s a Yahoo or ATT/Yahoo acct.

Apparently, they can hack into the accts and get the email lists of who has been sent an email.

The scams run from my wife and I were assaulted in London, NY City, ___________, fill in the blank, to "You might be interested in this link". The link takes you to a mal ware site which will infect your computer.

A constant scam has scumbags posing as UPS, Fedx, US Postal services and asking you to contact them re a delivery or your credit card or paypal acct has a problem.

Use the bcc, blind cc to list the names on any emails.
