Title: Please take one minute to help me......
Post by: TwoCatSam on May 24, 2012, 01:19:16 AM
Something very strange has happened to my e-mail.  Would someone or several people please send me an e-mail to TwoCatSam@cox.net.  If you can, click on my address and send it that way, rather than cut and paste.

When I learn the truth, I will explain.

Thanks to all.  I have plenty of e-mails.  Why did I do this?

A person clicked on the link in another thread and sent me an e-mail.  I responded to him.  When he responded back, the header showed I had sent a cc to another person.  I did not send a cc to anyone.

All of the other e-mails did not do this--at least not yet.

So, does someone else have control of my e-mail?

Any ideas how this could happen?

OK, here's the deal

Over the years, I have placed my e-mail in posts.  This creates a hyper-link.  When someone clicks on that to send me mail, it also sends it to people who I don't even know.  And some I do...you know who you are.

My server says NEVER put in your e-mail as written.  Always enclose it in " marks, as "JoeBlow@Gotebo.com"  This will not create a link and the sender must cut and paste it into their e-mail system.

To the person who got my e-mails:  I have nothing to hide.  Every frickin' thing I know and some things I don't are posted on this forum.  You want to know; ask me!!

Sam

Well,he's wrong; it does create a hyper-link.  I would use JoeBlow at Gotebo.com.

Dang!  I used to study roulette!

Your "server" is wrong.  That message, as posted, still is a "mailto:" link.

If you want to do it correctly try "Joeblow AT Gotebo DOT com" and that will solve the problem.

Thank you for that information.  This whole incident threw quite a scare into me.  Identify thieves and all.

'course my life is so boring if someone stole my identity they'd probably pay me to take it back!   :no:
