I received one this morning but I figured something like that had happened so I immediately deleted it.

I was going to send you a mail to let you know...I got that mail,don't worry bb!It happens!These stupid hackers have nothing better to do!

[nyaubaby]

Thanks Sil. I was worried cause it actually sent it to my previous boss... so it's a bit uncomfortable, but guess what, somebody I haven't talked in the last 2 years wrote back, so I think it has it's advantages ;)

[animotus]

Ah,that sucks!I mean...about your boss!:P

[nyaubaby]

Well, he didn't reply, so hopefully he deleted it :P

Ahahaha viagra?
Dammit I hear this is appening a lot around my flist and my rl friends! :(

[nyaubaby]

yeah. it's scary, cause if they stole my pw, they can stole my bank details too.

I had that happen to me a while back. Change your password to something with letters and numbers and at least one letter in caps and it should help.

[nyaubaby]

Yeah, that's what I did. Numbers, symbols all that shit, to make it more secure. It's just scary as they can steal your bank details and other stuff...

Have you figured out how you got it? Or how it happened?

[feather_touch]

From what I found out it's called an email zombie, yes, made me giggle too. I'm not sure how it works, but changing my password worked. You get them from opening mail with one in it, which is easy to do since a lot of times they come looking like something from someone you know.

oh wow, that's scary!

have you run malware/ virus scans on your computer? I'd do that just to be on the safe side :)

[nyaubaby]

yeah that's gonna be the first thing I do when I get home, lol.

Thanks!
