Something funky & not at all cool is going on with my email address in the way of either a virus, it being compromised or someone using my email as a proxy. I am frantically trying to fix it but I just wanted to let any of you guys that might get something from me that is obviously not really “from” me, proffering Viagra or telling you I’m stuck in France & need to borrow cash (I wish!), to ignore, delete & send me happy “#$%^ off computer malice" type vibes. Apologies. It is very odd that one can feel so guilty about something they have no control over! “Sorry I sent you that link to investing in shares!” “Sorry about that penis enlargement email!” “Sorry!” “Sorry!” “SORRY!”.
Friggin hackers and the like. Hope you get it sorted ASAP. I get frequent emails from old ladies in the UK who want to leave me their fortune but not from spunky babes in France needing cash (yet)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I got something similar this morning that directed me to a site for viagra but it was under the guise of a craft site...I deleted it immediately.
ReplyDeleteHope you get it sorted soon.

Oh no! For your sake I hope you get it sorted soon. How frustrating.
ReplyDeletehope it gets sorted soon (I was a bit suspicious when "you" sent me a link to a "restaurant" in the US - so I didn't look...)... sending you lots of "getting rid of computer malice" vibes...
ReplyDeleteI figured something was up when you sent me a link to garden med restuarant... whatever/wherever that is anyhow...
ReplyDeleteHope you get it sorted soon. I had it happen to my hotmail account years ago. Not a nice experience at all.
Oh no, hope your infection clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteohhh dear they are getting nasty the last few weeks! HOtmail account are also getting cracked into!
ReplyDeleteHey Vic, it happened to me once and apparently I was telling my friends where they could get a great deal on a new phone...most of my friends twigged when it said 'hello dear friend' or something odd like that...or thought it odd because I don't even have a mobile phone, but a few asked me if I am still happy with my phone because they were thinking of getting one...?!
ReplyDeleteOk, so we need a code-word so we know when you really are stuck in France with no money, otherwise you are going to be totally screwed! I hope you get it all sorted out soon.
ReplyDeleteKnew it wasn't really you...though I hoped the GBP650,000 was real!
ReplyDelete!@#$%hackers
and I was looking forward to that enlargement!!
ReplyDeletemy email account also sent an email like Tanyas a while back & one "friend" actually believed it was me sending it..hmmm
