Attention everyone!!

I posted this in the General Issues area, but I do want everyone to see this, so I'm posting it here, too.

There was an email that was inadvertently sent out earlier today. It told you that your screen name had changed. IT HAS NOT.

PLEASE IGNORE THAT EMAIL.

Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

I was wondering what the heck that was. Thanks for clarifying.

I was feeling a bit left out but mine just came through. I would have recognized it as false as I'm very careful about phishing emails. Have you figured out the source. If your lists have been compromised we need to know. Keep us informed.

Thanks for the info. I had replied to that. I wonder if it was a "phish" virus.

Thank you. I was wondering why my username would have been changed to something completely different from my name! LOL. I was relieved to see that I could still log in with my original username and password! :woot:

Everything

is intact. Nothing has been compromised at all.

Meetz, I just contacted my ISP. Their advice to me (and I'm passing this on to everyone else) is this:

check your webmail first and delete the "phish" before it enters onto your screen.

If the "phish" has entered your computer, please follow the instructions below:

1) go to your e-mail settings, click on "Properties";
2) delete your current password and change it to a new one;
3) click on the "Advanced" tab
4) check the little box which says "save a copy on the server".

This will allow the ISP to check the source of such spam and it will delete the spam from the server on its own (after a specified period of days.)

I hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks.

It's OK

if that's what is needed, but a human has to initiate sending the email here, so it was human error. For that, I'm sorry.

Yay

I'm delighted since I hated the new screen name it gave me.
