If you receive anything from Elaine Too (elainetoo @ ymail.com), please don't open - just delete.
Only had a few of you in my contacts list so I think there won't be a big problem. I've already changed my email address and notified those that were on my list through my new email.
Also, for those on FB, I have a new ID and I'm trying bit by bit to add back my friends.
Thanks and sorry for anyone that may have gotten any spam from me.

This morning I got what appeared to be an authentic email form MSN Hotmail asking me to send them my address and password threatening to close my account. Luckily I'm not as gullible as my husband. I had to explain that you can set up fake aliases and copy authentic diagrams and logos from businesses. The real sender of this was someone named cocacolaboy. Notify MSN but NOT by replying to the original sender. Sure are getting lots of hackers. Glad I keep no business info on my computer.
I got an email today also asking for my name password and email account info or they were closing my account! Sent it to spam baby! I agree these people need a different life!

I got the email from Elaine and deleted it. Also got one from Joyce Ireland too, so looks like they are doing the rounds. I think hackers should have to pick up trash and paint houses for needy people if they get caught!

My email just got hacked so I went in and changed my password with Yahoo-so now everything is good!
Hackers do it-caz they can-and they think it's fun. What morons! Lots of teen do it-I'd choke one of mine if they ever did that!
I wouldn't have even know except youngest DD called me and said she got an email with the heading Port-O-Fino so she thought it had to do with her wedding venue and opened it on her iphone. It took her to some drug site, so she called me right away. Thank goodness it wasn't on her laptop!
