Watch your emails

[DumbledoresKitten]

Hey all

okay so weird activity on the email front. A few days ago i got an email from catwoman99 but my comp deleted it because it said there was a virus detected. Talked to catwoman and she said she never sent me anything.

Just now i got the same kind of exchange with bogus7. Apparently i had sent her something.

Conclusions: something wicked this way comes. so just watch your incoming email for virus. If your comp says someone from here sent you something but a virus was detected, it probably was actually someone from the board that sent you the email.

hope that sorts out a few problems. I don't know if this is affect just me or what, but htere you go.

I had that problem when I first joined the board and so did my sisters so we had to hide our email address and suddenly the problem stopped. We were told that spammers get on different board sites and will send emails to thousands of addresses at once that are infected. It was something we hated to do but it stopped the problem for us.

So THAT'S why I've suddenly been getting all that spam, I thought perhaps it was coming from the AD/MM yahoo group. The infected emails tend to show an attachment and have silly subject lines like "Information" or "Your Document." It's a good idea to check with someone if you're not expecting an email from them or think the subject line is suspect. Thanks for pointing it out to everyone, Cat, and for the spam lesson, Karlie.
