Subject: Dori; Urgent Author: Hillbilly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:48:09 09/02/10 Thu Dori, I just received a strange e-mail supposedly from you. I have reason to believe your e-mail on the hotmail server has been hijacked. The message said you were in England and stranded and needed money. The e-mail was not your style and did not address me by name. I did not respond nor try to write you through your hotmail account for fear my computer may be infected. I am writing this from my laptop as I don't want to access the internet from my pc. If you have another account you may want to use it just to be safe. Also you might want to check with hotmail and see what they say. God bless, Dwight [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Thanks, HB and Bilbo Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:35:59 09/03/10 Fri I submitted all the info I can remember to Hotmail techies to try to get my account back. I have had it for 11 years and will lose a lot of good stuff if they can't crack into it. Please help me with prayers and good vibes. I will check back in soon. xoxoxo

[> Subject: Dori Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:27:05 09/03/10 Fri I got the same message supposedly from you and Rick (Ulu) did also. I knew it wasn't from you and immediately deleted it and I'm sure Rick did also. Wonder how something like that can happen. Scary stuff! I remembered reading something about it a while back and to be on the lookout for it but I never expected to receive it.

[> [> Subject: Yep, that is what happened, sis Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:32:02 09/03/10 Fri AND they stole my password Not having fun!!!

[> [> [> Subject: Dori Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:33:54 09/04/10 Sat Now that's really bad and scary. Do you have any idea how it happened or who the culprit is?

[> [> [> [> Subject: imho... Author: Bill [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:53:11 09/04/10 Sat "how" would be best talked about privately. luv,

[> [> [> Subject: Good suggestion, Luv Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:59:02 09/04/10 Sat Connie, I will write to you by email to explain what happened. xoxo

[> [> [> [> Subject: Dori, Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:26:26 09/05/10 Sun You might include me in that e-mail (grin) I saved a screenshot of that phony e-mail if you want it.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Useless tto send to m'lady... Author: Bill [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:08:11 09/05/10 Sun If you believe in the negative form of reciprocity, send the header to one such as I. Be forewarned, my Lord already made it clear to me to let it go...if you have a NEED; then I shall consider. luv,

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: No reciprication required, luv Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:47:01 09/06/10 Mon It was my stupidity that got me in trouble. I will write that email to all three of you. I'm leaving for home in a couple of hours, so I'll write a little note tonight after I read the new study...deal? Gotta go read my mail luv u guys

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Not "stupidity, m'lady... Author: Bill [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:58:37 09/06/10 Mon just seems like that. I can crack a six digit alphanumeric pass word in a week (now that puter power has caught up :-), in 93' it would have taken me a year. As I told Wifey back around 95', keep your address book EMPTY. You know a bit about software, you can set up a file for addy copy/paste...you could even go back to the stone age and do hard copy. Only mistake was having an address book...period! luv,

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: That is a very good tip, luv Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:33:28 09/06/10 Mon I am going to cut and paste my contact list onto my hard drive and empty the address book of anyone with whom I don't correspond frequently. Then I won't be so vulnerable. Thanks!
