those darn hackers are at it again!



Anyone receiving an email "from me"  check the subject line where it says "everybody recommends me this" and there is a link to 'booklet.aimconsultoresdotcom'

please be aware this is NOT from me, those buggers have hacked my email list again. 

I apologise, but don't know how to stop it.

    1. Arkansas Patti; it isn't me being tormented, it's all you people out there who are receiving emails supposedly from me. I don't get the emails myself, only a heads-up from someone else who got one.

    1. jenny_o; I heard from someone recently that has more than one email address and apparently has been getting spam emails "from me" for years now :(

  6. I try to be cautious. If it is a name I do not know, or a business, I don't open it.

  7. Are they hacking back into your account, or have they copied your contact list and kept it and just keep sending stuff out periodically? Either way, it's annoying.

    1. messymimi; I suspect they've just copied the contact list and now these emails are computer generated. I went through the list yesterday and deleted 95% of contacts so we'll find out soon if they keep using the old list or somehow get the new one.

  8. Those Mumbai escorts won't leave me alone! The spam filter used to catch anonymous commenters, but it stopped.

    1. Kathy's Klothesline; mine too. Every now and again one gets through, so you have to do the whole routine again. Go to your comments, tick the spam one, mark it as spam and then go into your spam folder and delete it. That should keep them away for a while as your filter recognises them again.

    1. Lee; That could work, "Red" is in prison, but that doesn't seem to stop him from outside contacts.

  10. I've stopped alerting people,. At this point most people can sniff this crap out easily. Like Joanne says they will always be with us...we need to learn to ignore.

    1. joeh; I know most people are wise to these things, but I have a few readers new to me, so I put up a warning just in case.

  11. It is hard work, but maybe you should change your email address. And if you change to gmail from yahoo, I will a notification as soon as you comment.

    1. Andrew; changing the address means notifying at least three dozen people that I can think of and that's just the ones who don't blog.
