It happens a lot. The key is to not click on the links in these emails. When it happens about the only thing you can do is change your password for your email account since this is something that's happening on the server end apparently.
It happened to my Yahoo account once - fortunately I had only a couple of addresses in the contact list. It was weird when I found the sent email in my Yahoo Sent folder - I knew I hadn't sent it and my computer hadn't been on that day so it was definitely on the server end. Since I changed my password and removed the contacts, it's not happened again. I have no contacts in my webmail accounts for them to send an email to if they manage to break in again <g> Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 3:05 PM, Graham Lambert <[email protected]> wrote: > Just to clarify your subject line "Do not open other emails from me. I've > been hacked."
