Title: Spam
Post by: KFH on July 26, 2013, 06:05:02 PM
My Yahoo email address was hit three times this morning by a Nigerian spammer. If any members of the forum received an email from me asking you to send money to Manila as we were stranded there. It seems that all of the names in my contact list received this spam.  Well that is a BIG HOAX... I apologize to anybody that received that email.  The worst part is the deletion of all my Contacts List names.  I believe that the spam problem has been resolved - hopefully. We received numerous phone calls from friends who knew we were overseas and not sure if we had returned.

Yes all that has been done. They said this is a normal thing that happens on email accounts.  Pete I did not receive anything from you so I guess it went to the spammer as did the ones the other people sent to me about it as well.
