SOMEONE'S PHISHING!

Argh! Someone has hacked into my hotmail account and hacked me right off! I hate that! They did this a couple of weeks ago, too. And it's someone whose 1st language is not English so then I worry that I'm unknowingly getting involved with some Nigerian bank scandal. Ugh. So if you get an email from me that A.) isn't written with proper spelling or grammar, and/or B.) is recommending you go to a web site for products or services, and/or C.) has a ton of people on the "cc" list, PLEASE DELETE IT! And then run a virus scan.

I'm taking measures to make sure this doesn't happen a third time. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully, the only thing these phishers will catch is my wrath!

This isn't your fault. Thank you for the heads up & concern at doing whatever you can to prevent it from happening again. Phishers are everywhere & were bound to catch one of us sooner or later.xo
