This is a friendly PSA to do two things:

1) ignore any spam that came from my fannish email account (it's a yahoo account) and

2) consider changing your password on your email account. I was deleting the returned messages from the spam event and discovered the original email that came to me with probably the hack embedded, also from a fan. The advertizing hacks are after us! SAVE YOURSELVES!


Sorry about that spamnation, too. It's not always better with spam.

As you were. Happy Wednesday and all that.

Yeah, I got something from "you" recently. There's a bunch of this going on. First I was getting mail from "my brother", then "his family", then "THINGers". Grrr.

The family has hotmail, but the THINGers are yahoo, of course. Ooh, I should check my rarely-used yahoo account to see if there's been any strange goings-on...

ETA: Nope, my yahoo and hotmail accounts look normal.

Yes, I got an e-mail with an obviously dodgy link from you. Do you know if it's okay as long as you don't click on the link?
