 Nick,
 Is this really you?

 Highly unlikely.

 Huh???

It's not Nick; somehow, someone in his address may have been phished. Recently 
I've been getting job opportunity links, ostensibly from friends, but with 
phony e-mail addresses.

The first time it happened to me I received a link from someone I knew on 
Twitter.  I was sent very disturbing porn link that went out to all my twitter 
followers (fortunately I rare go on Twitter). I got a nasty reply from a young 
girl saying, Jon, I used to think you were a standup guy, but now I know you 
are a dirty old man..  I changed my password right away, but it was too late.  
Most social networks have a security page.

Now, I know better than to reply to e-mails asking for my password, ESPECIALLY 
if my user I.D. is my e-mail address, or it is from a bank.  Nor do I respond 
to e-mails that threaten to close my account unless I provide personal 
information. I rarely download software unless it is from a confirmed web site.

See my message that crossed yours somewhere in the ether about the 
time one of those cost me just a couple of hours ago . . .


(The waste of time was in getting to a place where I could report it 
and ask for confirmation if just in case it was genuine.  Why do 
service providers make it so difficult to find and use their 
customer service contact links?  Grrr . . .  :-o )

The scary thing is that it got distributed to the whole list.  That
shouldn't happen.  The list is supposed to be protected against this kind
of spoofing.
