Okay so, a dear friend forwarded this e-mail she got that was forwarded to her.
saying I was hacked.
there are 2 dear ladies here with their e-mails on the list too.
I won't say which ones.
So,
HELP !!! Need advice what should I do???
My son is care taker of the computer.
but, if I tell him; he will blow up at me ; saying it was my fault.
So,
is there any way I can fix this without having him involved????
I checked my banking account. etc and every thing is fine.
Anyone had any experince with this.
Please help thank you hugs sheila

| Sheila, something similar happened when I opened an email last week, but I immediately shut down everything, because if it says to "click here" and you do, THEN you are hacked. |

| Don't worry, you haven't been hacked. The worst that's happened is that someone in your circle of e-mail friends has had their e-mail address hijacked for the purpose of harvesting private information from their contacts. This seems to happen most often with Yahoo mail. Do not forward such mail to anyone. Do not click on any of the links in the e-mail: Rosemary is right, that's what they want you to do. Just delete that garbage and bookmark Snopes.com for advice on suspicious mail in the future. :-) |
