It appears that I have joined the ranks of international email spammers!
For some years I have owned an email address newlifenarrabri.at.yahoo.com.au. Just recently I've been getting a dozen or so emails every day advising that some email that I didn't send promoting on-line gambling sites has not been able to be delivered.
Thanks to the Nigerian or Indian person who has "stolen" my address!
And if you get a message which might look like it comes from me, promoting some cause that seems incompatible with who I am, it probably isn't from me!
Ahhh technology!!
ReplyDeletegee your not the first in town to have there email address hijacked, would be interesting to find out how these people get such information. especially considering you use Linux, and a lot of spyware only run on windows. Might help me to stop it happening again on the other peoples accounts.
ReplyDeleteWell it's a yahoo account for starters- they seem to be the main source of illegally hijackecd addresses- along with hotmail and probably gmail
