I'm really fe**ng annoyed...I'm with BT and they have BTYahoo email.....and have suffered the same fate with email spamming a number of the forums I'm a member of including the 7*12... And to add insult to injury, I had an email from Warren Buckley of BT fame telling me to use my email account at least once in 150 days or else they will close it........Boy am I angry......grrrr... I'm close to clsong my account with BT and telling them to fe***ng shove it I'll go with another isp that has better security....I'm sick of all the spam emails I get too....... This has me really riled... Sorry for the expletives I dont normally swear on a public forum |

John I find that rather strange ??? I'm now with PlusNet, which is part of BT and I get none at all now ... not a sausage ... I used to get them regularly with Talktalk, usually bank detail phishing from banks I have no dealings with , so they were very easy to spot . That is on the odd occasions when Talktalk actually worked ... :bang: Dave BC |

Andy, John. I recently received emails "from you", via Mini lathe Forum........ The usual thing. "Mum makes a fortune per hour"..... I deleted, without opening. David D |

I was 'hacked' about 6 weeks ago. There was a common denominator or two. One was picked up by a forum member here whom I had helped earlier. The other bit was that I am a member of the same Mini Lathe site( or was after this) Now Yahoo or should I say BT is trying the same game about the 160 day thing. An odd thought. It takes 10 years for a firm to obtain worthwhile goodwill-- and ten minutes to lose it. BT is no longer a monopoly. My regards to you all |

David D --- End quote --- Hi David, I got one purporting to be from John, because I get posts to the 7x12 Minilathe group relayed to my Hotmail address. On seeing it, I went to that group (I'm one of its moderators), and deleted the original pretty soon after it arrived, but for members like me who get posts copied to them by email that was shutting the stable door after the horse had bolted. I also emailed John to tell him that his address had been hijacked and advising a change of password and a scan for malware. Did you also get a message pretending to be from me? That would be odd; I know my Yahoo contact list was hijacked by some Mexican, but the only address in it was my Hotmail address, so I wouldn't have expected anyone else to hear from "me". Andyn |
