Title: weird email
Post by: Spanky on Mon 05/27/13 01:08 PM
I received a strange email from Bill Leary that says he was stranded in the Philippines because he was robbed and needed 2500 bucks to get back here in the states.I'm assuming a hacker is sending out this spam trying to make some quick bread.Anybody else on here get this email?

Bill's e-mail got hacked.  Rest assured he is not in Manilla and has since changed his password.

Bill will go to extreme lengths to get Tamiya's new Corsair. But now he has gone to far!

Yep, got that too. Tried to send out a warning email, but apparently the old Yahoo addy is totally defunct?

Bill,
Buddy, you have got to come up with a better password for Yahoo. I got hacked a couple of times, too, until I went to a 10 plus character password. Have not been hacked since (knock on wood). Yahoo seems to be a targeted venue, as I have never been hacked on my other emails.
