Just a warning…

Warning-bugs-in-the-system-450x450

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!”.

  1. 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)

  2. Oh 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.

    Hope you get it sorted soon.

  4. hope 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...

  5. I figured something was up when you sent me a link to garden med restuarant... whatever/wherever that is anyhow...

    Hope you get it sorted soon. I had it happen to my hotmail account years ago. Not a nice experience at all.

  8. Hey 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...?!

  9. Ok, 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.
