So I am hearing from ppl that they are getting emails from me that I didn't send. If I have your email address and you get one from me that is blank or has some off the wall thing in it, it was not me that sent it. I guess I'm gonna have to close that account and make a new one. Sorry if this has affected anyone on here. Carrie

Was it that Nigerian Prince again? Trying to find a wife who makes more than 100k a year, so he can leave the cardboard box he lives in, that is in his parents basement.

Sorry this has happened to you :(

there has been a lot of computer hacking of email accounts lately. I have 3 friends this has happened to. Sorry this happened. I am not sure who you let know maybe your IP provider? They might be able to help.

Good one Chasing Hawk but he was looking in the wrong place. If I don't stop buying fabric I'm gonna wind up living in a cardboard box in my parents basement too. I don't open any spam but I think something was attached to an email I got from someone I know.

Awww I am so sorry! This happened to 2 of my friends last month. Supposedly they were stranded in a foreign Country & needed $$$$ to get home. Geez! Whoever hacks into email accounts is just lowlife. They should put their brains to good use!

2 friends of mine recently had to change their email accounts. Both were hotmail.

That's strange, but I think mine is worse. Three friends of mine
said that I had sent them emails selling Viagra for a good price.
When they sent the email to me, it had not AOL but AIM, which
seems to be attached to AOL. I have never used the AIM address, in fact, never noticed it up on the top left of the AOL page till they mentioned it

Carrie you likely have an e-mail virus.

I recently switched to Yahoo but have gotten the viagra adds from people I know and I am positive they are not into selling it!
