email hacked

[Tom Ellis]

I was stupid enough to look and an email link, that asked for me to validate my hotmail address and password to be able to see the email from a friend. After doing so it attached to my contact list, and sent email to everyone on the list.
If you see a window pop up don't answer any questions, without going to the main site.
I appologize if you happened to get one of those mails. I have been blocked from my email until this can be resolved.
I guess I have been lucky to get by this long, but I wish I could send a predator drone to the person that did this.

be careful, Tom

mos tof these hacks come from china and thye are looking for credit card numbers its not the email they are concerned with so if yiou didnt email a number its a minor inconvenience but a pain

[Tom Ellis]

Rick, Alls I gave was email, and password. I dropped off when they wanted more. But then they sent out a bunch of spam emails looking for more careless ones like myself.

Change your password, then look at your drafts folder for strange emails. The "worm" sometimes prepares drafts and saves them in you drafts folder. Delete any unknown drafts, then change your password again. For the next few days check your email sent folder and drafts folder for emails that you did not send or put into drafts folder to make sure you got rid of the worm.

Dogcatcher, Right now I am blocked from my account, Microsoft noticed all the spam, and locked my account. Am waiting to reestablish it.

Thanks, Tom

So did you send me the unclickable link one then Tom? I thought you sent me it as a joke.

[Tom Ellis]

Sean, It automatically sent a bunch of them, and most peoples virus protection stopped it, I don't know why mine didn't.
It said very good from a Canada friend, so I clicked , but he said he didn't send it either.

Sorry for that. Tom

Tom,

I say that we forget sending the predator drone and get a bus load of all of us that have had to put up with this garbage from these people and just go have a good ole boy conversation with them, maybe read to em from the good book with a little bit of John Wayne influence just for good measure. If you decide to take this approach let me know and I will try to open up my schedule.

[Tom Ellis]

Mark I'll keep you in mind, if my mind lasts that long. Since it is probably overseas somewhere, I think I will stick with the drone, although John could be pretty convincing at times, and a good shot.
